Summary: Superb Book
Comment: Firstly I shall explain a little about myself,
I wanted to use embedded microcontrollers and started off by learning assembly language, soon I found it wasnt powerfull/flexable enough for what I needed, so C was the way I was told to go.
After some weeks of looking through books, I found this one..
I did my usual trick of reading the first chapter, and for the first time since my quest for a C book I understood it! Im a hardware guy by trade/way of thinking and many programming books simply Confused me.
Haveing worked through the book, I found it easy to read and very helpfull. At times it may seem a little 'chatty' but to be honest this is one of the things that keeps the book easy to read!
I taught myself C from this book in about 6 months, its so easy to get something basic like a 'hello world' program up and running in about an hour, and its VERY satisfying to see..
Its a superb beginners book, but as for reference its ok, but not as good as the K&R white book..
If you want to teach yourself C and you know NOTHING about C , This is the book for you... if you already know C and want a reference book, you wont like this book...

Summary: Excellent book for the beginning C programmer.
Comment: Perry does an excellent job in presenting this topic. Many of the books I have read go to deep for the beginning C programmer. Perry offers a clear concise explanation of the topics and uses easy to understand exercises. I found this to be an interesting book to read as well, and strongly recommend this for anyone who has an interest in C programming, or may be using a text book that might seem hard to follow.

Summary: If you have never been exposed to C, this is the book
Comment: This is an excellent book for beginners. I am fluent in Visual Basic but I had never been exposed to C. Suddenly I find myself needing to develop DLLs in C. I was scared to death because of the short time I had to catch up. I did not think C was that easy to understand until I started reading this book. Even if your previous knowledge on programming is very poor, this book will take you step by step so that you will be soon programming. The style in which it is written is very clear and simple, with very good down-to-earth explanations. The examples are very simple, they just show the concepts and are far from being a technical challenge, but they serve their purpose well. Mistakes: there may be a few, but nothing that can drive you lost (at least to me). However, it does not say much about using a compiler and if you are looking for advanced topics this is not the book, but, in this regard, the editor is very honest: at the back cover you can read it is for beginning to intermediate level users. I am ready to jump into the advanced texts. Thanks Mr. Perry.
