Summary
Professor King's spiral approach made it accessible to a broad range of readers， from beginners to more advanced students。 With adoptions at over 225 colleges， the first edition was one of the leading C textbooks of the last ten years。 The second edition maintains all the book's popular features and brings it up to date with coverage of the C99 standard。 The new edition also adds a significant number of exercises and longer programming projects， and includes extensive revisions and updates。

Following some friends advice， I shouldn't be spending that much time with C because of low usability in the industry and none of the classes in uni are going to require it， which is very sad。 Still going to finish K&R sometime。 Following some friends advice， I shouldn't be spending that much time with C because of low usability in the industry and none of the classes in uni are going to require it， which is very sad。 Still going to finish K&R sometime。 。。。more

A very good first book to learn C。 It is a little bit vague in some parts， but very good in general。

Before I learnt C， I learnt Python since everyone recommended it for the simplicity。 So， Python was my first programming language。 However， after reading this book， I would suggest C as the first language for everyone。 The book by Mr。King has taught me the beauty and the importance of C。 It's not only the language I learnt from this book。 It's the way of thinking as a programmer which is truly rewarding。 What takes a few lines in other languages might take much more in C。 Don't let that discoura Before I learnt C， I learnt Python since everyone recommended it for the simplicity。 So， Python was my first programming language。 However， after reading this book， I would suggest C as the first language for everyone。 The book by Mr。King has taught me the beauty and the importance of C。 It's not only the language I learnt from this book。 It's the way of thinking as a programmer which is truly rewarding。 What takes a few lines in other languages might take much more in C。 Don't let that discourage you。 It is necessarily hard for your development。 。。。more

This is a great book for learning C。 It presents everything in an easy to understand format， has plenty of examples， explains everything。 I rate this as MUCH better than "The C Programming Language" by Dennis Ritchie， even though he invented it， he states in his book that it's not for beginners。This one will take you from beginner to intermediate！ This is a great book for learning C。 It presents everything in an easy to understand format， has plenty of examples， explains everything。 I rate this as MUCH better than "The C Programming Language" by Dennis Ritchie， even though he invented it， he states in his book that it's not for beginners。This one will take you from beginner to intermediate！ 。。。more

L'ideale per avvicinarsi alla programmazione in c e più in generale per chi non ne sa molto di programmazione， chiaro e con esempi facili da capire aiuta molto anche la sezione finale di ogni capitolo in cui fare esercizi o chiarire i casi più ostici del linguaggio L'ideale per avvicinarsi alla programmazione in c e più in generale per chi non ne sa molto di programmazione， chiaro e con esempi facili da capire aiuta molto anche la sezione finale di ogni capitolo in cui fare esercizi o chiarire i casi più ostici del linguaggio 。。。more

This is an excellent， thorough tutorial on the C programming language。 I loved how simple the explanations were。 Nothing was dumbed down or belabored， but a beginner to C will feel right at home here。 Examples were straightforward， and only offered when they were helpful。 It's packed full of exercises and programming projects。My favorite thing is the Q&A section at the end of every chapter。 All those weirdnesses about C that make people scratch their heads， this book either explains it， or at le This is an excellent， thorough tutorial on the C programming language。 I loved how simple the explanations were。 Nothing was dumbed down or belabored， but a beginner to C will feel right at home here。 Examples were straightforward， and only offered when they were helpful。 It's packed full of exercises and programming projects。My favorite thing is the Q&A section at the end of every chapter。 All those weirdnesses about C that make people scratch their heads， this book either explains it， or at least admits that it's weird。 Just this alone is so helpful to people new to the language， because it reassures them they're not dumb。 Every language has its warts， so it's important to know they're just warts， and not just a failure to understand。This book tries hard to be thorough， and cover the entire language。 This is probably too ambitious。 There are some dark corners of the standard library， particular in C99， that no one needs to know about except very tiny niches。 This is especially true for advanced mathematics。 This stuff is so specialized that I almost wonder if it shouldn't have been included in the standard。 That's what 3rd-party libraries are for。 But it's in the language， so this book includes it。The title seems a little funny in 2016。 It's a "modern approach，" and yet the version of C it covers is decades old。 Even the latest version is already five years old。 Time for a 3rd edition？ It's kind of strange for a book to call itself modern when it's no longer modern。 I guess C works on a different time scale from the rest of technology， and I guess that's what I love about it。 While everything else is constantly changing， C is still basically C。 。。。more

A perfect book for learning C programming language。

Easy to read， full of real insight and， probably， the best all-in reference I had encounter since I started to learn C。In general， I have my reservations with big all-in books， but this was a surprise。 A delight， well above the classic C book。Absolutely recommendable。Also gives some initial hints for serious programming （low level， modularity and error handling）。

I'm an absolute beginner and I approached about 4 different books in my pursuit of learning C including the classic K&R （which I found relatively unfriendly to total beginners）。 This text was by far the most accessible。 Really got far with this。 I'm an absolute beginner and I approached about 4 different books in my pursuit of learning C including the classic K&R （which I found relatively unfriendly to total beginners）。 This text was by far the most accessible。 Really got far with this。 。。。more

Another bible for C guys。 Covers up-to and including C99。 Very good as an intro or for pro guys。 In addition to Pointers on C by Kenneth Reek， this piece stays on my bookshelf forever。

A very detailed treatment of C。 C is a powerful and at times frustrating language。 This book helps simplify the language quite a bit。 If you're looking for a more detailed alternative to K&R this isn't a bad choice。 A very detailed treatment of C。 C is a powerful and at times frustrating language。 This book helps simplify the language quite a bit。 If you're looking for a more detailed alternative to K&R this isn't a bad choice。 。。。more

This book was the first book which I read in Computer science。 It was three years before and all of my experience in dealing with this device which called computer is how to restart and shutdown it！ After reading about seven chapters I fall in programming love， and only two chapters ahead and it becomes one of the most interesting things that I did before。 I was reading it in an academic course at the first level of my faculty， and after finishing the course we was studied only twelve chapters f This book was the first book which I read in Computer science。 It was three years before and all of my experience in dealing with this device which called computer is how to restart and shutdown it！ After reading about seven chapters I fall in programming love， and only two chapters ahead and it becomes one of the most interesting things that I did before。 I was reading it in an academic course at the first level of my faculty， and after finishing the course we was studied only twelve chapters from this book， and I completed the book and some of its programming assignments on my own。 At this course I got A+ and it still the highest score I got forever。 All of this was because the extremely impressive illustration style of this book。 Some programming topics I didn't found it as simple as here anywhere， some of them are introductory such as Multidimensional arrays and functions， and some of them may be more advanced such as pointers。 It's a very powerful book to begin learning programming with， despite it illustrates a very old programming language in the programming world which is C programming 。。。more

Хорошая， основательная книга。 Особо хочется отметить наличие после глав секций вопрос и ответов， в которых часто раскрываются интересные технические подробности и нюансы。 В конце книги разместились главы с описанием стандартной библиотеки языка， что позволяет использовать издание в качестве справочника。 Большое внимание уделяется различиям между C89 и C99。

This is a comprehensive book covering the C programming language。 The book tries to cover all the aspects of C， underlining the C99 standards。 Every chapter contains 4 parts。 The first part explains the paradigm and sometimes shows code snippets or entire programs。 The second part is named Q&A and tries to handle all the special cases or specific problems by answering some very well chosen questions。 The third part contains some exercises one can answer by just reading the text or by writing and This is a comprehensive book covering the C programming language。 The book tries to cover all the aspects of C， underlining the C99 standards。 Every chapter contains 4 parts。 The first part explains the paradigm and sometimes shows code snippets or entire programs。 The second part is named Q&A and tries to handle all the special cases or specific problems by answering some very well chosen questions。 The third part contains some exercises one can answer by just reading the text or by writing and executing a small program， and the forth proposes some programming exercises one should do in order to gain full understanding of the subject。 The book is a little too thick and one would better use it as a reference book。 The writing is OK but some of the explanations are long and a few subjects not very easy to grasp。 Also there are some pieces of code that are difficult for a newcomer to easily understand， but I guess that is the author's style。Also the exercises are most of the time related to the previous chapters which makes it hard to follow and do it all。The main advantage of this book is clearly the coverage of the "modern" C99 standard。 Every chapter has references to this standard and a clear explanation of what was changed or improved。Overall it is a good book to have but I would not call it exceptionally。 。。。more

От цялата специализирана литература която съм чел тази е втората най-добре написана и разбираема。 Разбира се， аз си имам влечеие към по-ниските етажи но и автора се е постарал。
