With adoptions at over 225 colleges, the first edition was one of the leading C textbooks of the last ten years. The second edition maintains all the book's popular features and brings it up to date with coverage of the C99 standard. The new edition also adds a significant number of exercises and longer programming projects, and includes extensive revisions and updates. Review: A Modern Classic! - I am a first-year comp sci student (although I have a degree in an unrelated field) who was due to start an algorithm/problem solving class that would be focused on C. Although the class had no assigned textbook, I figured if I'm going to be using C, I'd better learn what I'm doing. I had tried previously to learn C with K&R, but I didn't make much progress. Too many of the programming practice problems given in K&R were frankly just too difficult for a beginner who is self-teaching. I decided to pick up another textbook. After extensive research, King's book seemed to be one of the most consistently and highly recommended. I started working through King's book a couple weeks before the class started to try and keep ahead of the class material. I can't say enough good things about this textbook. It is thorough but clear, and includes plenty of code examples to learn from. The programming exercises are just challenging enough to push you a bit beyond your comfort zone without feeling impossible, and there are many interesting problems to pick and choose from. There's enough material so that you can find many common standard library functions or core C concepts referenced over and over throughout the book. This really helps to see how the guts of C work in different contexts. The writing style is pleasant. King manages to keep what most would consider a very dry subject entertaining and fun, without losing any of the rigor you'd expect from a textbook. That's quite an achievement. Thanks partially to this book I finished the class with a perfect 100% score. Review: Great Book Great Price - I am enrolled in a College "C" Programming class. This book is the text for the class. The college bookstore did not order the text due to some bureaucratic snafu, could not say when they would have the text and told me the price would $118.00. In one of the first meetings of the class someone mentioned the book was/is available on desertcart. I checked desertcart and sure enough I could have the book in time for the next class meeting with 2nd day shipping. The real bonus was that including the purchase price of the book and 2nd day shipping I saved over $20.00 compared to waiting and buying the book, if and when it ever came in, at the college bookstore. As for the book it is well written and easy to understand. The author includes special notes defining the differences between "C89" and "C99". The book also explains how to obtain the GNU Bloodshed C++ integrated devlopment environment and compiler. The GNU project software downloads are all free including license to distribute. The book also includes multiple other web resources. The layout and progression of the book from basic to advanced topics is logical and concise (without being cryptic). The individual teaching this class is a PhD and the one who chose this text. I highly recommend this book for any one involved in teaching and/or learning the most current "C" programming language. It is a superior treatise on "C" programming. Donald R.
