5.0 out of 5 stars Had to special order this one, but it was worth the wait!, December 1, 1998

This review is from: Certified Course in C: Earn Your Certificate Through Self-Paced Instruction/Book and 2 Disk (Paperback)

Not much more that I can say. If you want to learn 'C' this is the one to get. The 'C' language is famous for a not-so-gentle syntax, but Himmel manages to make the learning process pretty painless. I finished the book and can now understand MOST of the 'C' programs that I encounter and can even write a few!

4.0 out of 5 stars BUY THIS BOOK, BUT FIRST..., November 14, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Certified Course in C: Earn Your Certificate Through Self-Paced Instruction/Book and 2 Disk (Paperback)

I recommend this book to anyone wanting to gain a working knowledge of the C programming language.

There is one caveat, however. You might first want to get comfortable with QBASIC or QuickBASIC before tackling C. QBASIC was included with DOS and is quick and easy to learn.

Overall, "Certified Course in C" is well worth the money spent AND you can get a certificate from University of Phoenix as visible proof of your expertise.

College dropout until I found this book. Author knew more about the design of Borland C++ and the ISO Standard C Language than hinted at in the description of the book, so this book is not for beginners. I was able to follow up this course with "Fundamentals of Computer Science I" at my local community college and then went on to earn my bachelor business degree from a private Pacific Northwest university.
