C Programming Language (Prentice Hall Software)

I think this book has been an extremely useful resource for me. The language is very pedagogical and fosters creative thinking once the basics in various chapters have been read. The appendix on C language specification is also very useful. I would say every programmer should have this book!

On time delivery good service

I got this book today and will again mention that this book is not for beginners. It will not teach you how to run programs or what is a compiler or what compilers do we have in different systems. This book will just teach you the C programming concepts. Each topic is written very briefly but in very simple and easy to understand language. This book have lot to offer but because each topic is discussed briefly some may find it little hard to understand some topics. And is heavily based on Unix systems. These are some of the reasons why this book is not for beginners. Even the book itself mention that. Also there are several good comments that discuss in more depth about this book. I already know the C basics including pointers so the reason I bought this book is for the last chapter The Unix System Interface. No other C book have that.

best for hacking and reverse engenrring

Good book for beginners to learn C language. The packing by the seller is good and got delivered in good condition.

The packing was good,worth the money, the quality of the content of the product is awesome and

Its ok... But..

This is the classic programming reference for C, the only one you would ever need, technically. Not at all outdated like many reviewers say, if at all, you may refer to online documentation for the parts changed. But this book has all you need to get on the right direction to learning C, written by C's great creator Dennis Ritchie. Still very useful and good guide. If you are beginning into C, give it a thorough read atleast 7-8 times, then you will be at ease with C. Reason why it's one of the most hated books is because it's much like the Linux documentation (man pages). A quick start guide, but many people prefer reading bulky reference books which try to provide solutions and examples - kinda trying to spoon feed you while this book is staright forward and very Minimalistic from that standpoint :P Paper quality is sub par, and binding and typeset is not one of the best around, though can live with it! Check pics attached to get a sort of idea of the typography and page quality (very thin pages).
