I've been googleing for the basically GFDL book how to think like a computer scientist in C, but I can't find it.
Does anyone know where I can get it, or know of a similar book for free download?

Thanks,
Michael

Yeah, that's the closest I could find also.

Anybody know of another free c book for beginners?

Thanks for the help.

Must it be free or will just cheap do? I'm sure you could find a copy of Kerighan and Ritchies "The C Programming Language" for cheap on eBay.

If it's a course you're after, try this Google search:

Here's a C book: http://publications.gbdirect.co.uk/c_book/

The series 'The Art of Computer Programming by Donald E. Knuth are pretty much considered to set the bar; here's a quote:

At the end of 1999, these books were named among the best twelve scientific monographs of the century by American Scientist, along with: Dirac on quantum mechanics, Einstein on relativity, Mandelbrot on fractals, Pauling on the chemical bond, Russell and Whitehead on foundations of mathematics, von Neumann and Morgenstern on game theory, Wiener on cybernetics, Woodward and Hoffmann on orbital symmetry, Feynman on quantum electrodynamics, Smith on the search for structure, and Einstein's collected papers. Wow!

Of course you may not be able to find the contents online, but any Uni/college library should have a set.

Here are some links I have. don't know if the links
