Re: Book on C programming - suggestions?
 

I would have to disagree. Granted, for a seasoned programmer, the Dummies Series is not worth it, but if you need to teach a new student with no experience, the Dummies series is great.

But for your purposes, I would suggest the Deitel & Deitel C book. I've used their series for C, C++, and Java. Very detailed and worthwhile.

I'd use the "Learn C/C++ in 24 Hours" series. It goes step-by-step for people with no programming experience, and is in the $20 to $30 range.

Re: Book on C programming - suggestions?
 

I just got a free guide to C from this website. Yes, it goes over the BASICs of C, and of course its close to JAVA, but even with the code, it takes a while to ASSEMBLE...yes, I know I'm a nerd. DEAL WITH IT!!

Re: Book on C programming - suggestions?
 

I personally like this book:
Pointers on C by Ken Reek.
He was a CS Professor at RIT. Retired last year. We used that book in
a class here. It's an excellent reference as well as a teaching guide.
I have a copy and i'll never part with it.
That guy has forgotten more about C programming than I will ever know.
