Review: Best book for learning C - Good book for beginners to learn C language. The packing by the seller is good and got delivered in good condition. Review: Probably the best book around to start with Low Level Programming (developing native apps) - This is the classic programming reference for C, the only one you would ever need, technically. Not at all outdated like many reviewers say, if at all, you may refer to online documentation for the parts changed. But this book has all you need to get on the right direction to learning C, written by C's great creator Dennis Ritchie. Still very useful and good guide. If you are beginning into C, give it a thorough read atleast 7-8 times, then you will be at ease with C. Reason why it's one of the most hated books is because it's much like the Linux documentation (man pages). A quick start guide, but many people prefer reading bulky reference books which try to provide solutions and examples - kinda trying to spoon feed you while this book is staright forward and very Minimalistic from that standpoint :P Paper quality is sub par, and binding and typeset is not one of the best around, though can live with it! Check pics attached to get a sort of idea of the typography and page quality (very thin pages). ## Features - Prentice Hall ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #928,770 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #6 in Programming Languages (Books) #13 in C Programming Language | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 4,212 Reviews | ## Images ![C Programming Language (Prentice Hall Software) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51EyaJeebHL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best book for learning C *by K***K on 28 November 2025* Good book for beginners to learn C language.
