This review is from: Workout C : Learn C Through Exercises/Book and floppy disks (Paperback)

I've been writing software for 30 years now, C since 1981, and this is the one C book I would recommend without reservations.

It is the ideal combination of C language descriptions, hundreds of examples, AND, most important, detailed descriptions of the examples.

I bought my copy in 1993 and I would never think of working on a C project without this book and all the notes I have made in it related to various versions of the major vender compilers.

I have never programmed before but always wanted to learn c. This book is definitely for the beginner. Excellent examples that work. With this foundation i think i will be able to program many applications.

5.0 out of 5 stars A perfect introduction to C, from the command line., October 16, 1996

By A Customer

This review is from: Workout C : Learn C Through Exercises/Book and floppy disks (Paperback)

Workout C actually delivers what it promises. The prose is easy to follow and the examples are the best I have seen. All of the code in the exercises actually works. If you use the compiler that comes on the disk, you will be able to duplicate the command line entries exactly. (I wouldn't use the compiler for anything else, though.) Workout C is as simple and elegant as the language itself
