Review: The best C introduction I've read - This is a great book. And it also shows a new programmer the idioms in common usage in industry - that's very valuable. I've tried to learn C a couple of times and this book really got me into it. There are other famous books which are inferior to this one imo.
Review: No sudden unexpected steep learning curve. - Easy to read English. Short sentences , precise examples . Good explanations. Gradual rise in complexity . Pointers , types , Pointer Arithmetic , Multidimensional Array , Structure , Unions , explained in clear readable text. I wish my first book in c was this one. I get that great "YES I UNDERSTAND IT NOW FEELING !!" after every paragraph . 10/10.
