The updated version of the ultimate introduction to ANSI C programming! Beginners as well as experienced programmers will enjoy this popular format to understanding C programming.
This book taught me C back in high school. I can credit this book with the formation of the fundamental mental models I use in my programming career to this day. It takes the time to explain pointers fully and lucidly, with helpful figures, which gave me a clear advantage when facing those concepts later in college, with minimal, muddled explanation, under the pressure of grades and deadlines. Robert Lafore is one of the clearest and friendliest (in the sense of being friendly and accessible without being condescending or "cute") instructional authors in programming.
