The professional programmer’s Deitel® guide to procedural programming in C through 130 working code examples Written for programmers with a background in high-level language programming, this book applies the Deitel signature live-code approach to teaching the C language and the C Standard Library . The book presents the concepts in the context of fully tested programs, complete with syntax shading, code highlighting, code walkthroughs and program outputs. The book features approximately 5,000 lines of proven C code and hundreds of savvy tips that will help you build robust applications. Start with an introduction to C, then rapidly move on to more advanced topics, including building custom data structures, the Standard Library, select features of the new C11 standard such as multithreading to help you write high-performance applications for today’s multicore systems, and secure C programming sections that show you how to write software that is more robust and less vulnerable. You’ll enjoy the Deitels’ classic treatment of procedural programming. When you’re finished, you’ll have everything you need to start building industrial-strength C applications.

I give this book five stars for its content and one star for its completely misleading title, so it gets three stars from me overall. In my opinion, the book under the heading of "for programmers" should not spend so much time and space (if any) explaining what operating systems are, how to compile and run programs, what functions are, how to use control structures, etc. A programmer should already now most of that stuff. From a book with such title I rather expected a detailed discussion of non-trivial parts of C programming language such as, for example, pointers and memory management. It's not like there's not any information in the book on these really important topics, it's just that this valuable material is buried under a pile of trivial to any programmer things.
