This review is from: Programming in ANSI C (Hayden Books C library) (Paperback)

This book by Steve Kochan is absolutely the best book for anyone starting out programming in C. This is an excellent introductory text with frequent examples and good text. This book makes no assumptions about the particular computer system or operating system on which the C language is implemented. This books is written for novices and experienced programmers alike. I love this book as the comprehensive 'teach by examples' book can help you master the unique features of the C language. There is complete coverage of program looping, decision making, arrays, strings, pointers and bit operations and helpful end-of-chapter exercises. This is the book I used to learn C and it really is a great book. The K&R book is really great as a reference, but not as the first book.

I reviewed this book back in 1995 on the LEARN C/C++ TODAY list and it is still the best book for learning C out there.

5.0 out of 5 stars Concise, Elegant and upto the point, January 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Programming in ANSI C Deluxe Revised (Paperback)

I used this book to cut my teeth in C. Of course, I know Pascal which helped me a little, but most of what I know in C is due to this great book. This book is the best buy for anyone looking for an easy to read, concise book in C. Those looking for a reference type book will not find it very attractive. But for most people like me, who are beginners this book is more than worth the money, but if you can, look for an older/used copy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for beginners, February 5, 1999

This review is from: Programming in ANSI C Deluxe Revised (Paperback)

This is an excellent book for beginners, with little or no programming background. Whether you know previous languages, like pascal, fortran or basic, or you have no programming background at all, you will find this book simple, informative and to the point.

I highly recommend this book as an introductory book for learning ANSI C.
