Also the book requires atleast 1 year good experience in C.

How do you measure 1 years knowledge? I'm sorry but i've been told that i've learned in a few months what a friend of mine (who is a very good programmer) learned in a year...

According to the book

Quote:

It is intended for C programmers who have already acquired at least a year's experience in the language and are either using it daily in their job or studying it thoroughly as a part of a course in higher education, and have been doing so for at least a year.

There are few interesting reasons why one should read this book,

Quote:

If you're interested in making your C programs more portable.

If you're interested in how modern, fast, efficient algorithms can be implemented in C.

....

It is a very good book for advanced C programmers. Take a look at the table of contents through the link below.

Okay, I checked out the Thinking in C CD-ROM content that comes with Thinking in C++. It is really a lecture series made up of a bunch of slides with a lecture style voice over and exercises with solutions. The voice over is fairly monotone and sometimes hesitant. I have not gone through the whole thing (just the Introduction is 40 minutes!), but it doesn't look like a winner.

so if I want to learn C, which book I should start with? I can't get the choice even finish reading this thread.

eshwar_ind · 03-02-2004, 05:15 AM

Friend In This thread we discussed about books for experienced programmers in C. Not for the beginers.
As a beginer you better start reading The C complete reference by Herbert schild.

Maybe I am the C beginner. But I am not the beginner of programmer. I don't want to read those about what variables is, what method is and what class is etc.

I am quite good in programming with Java.
I just want to learn C since its raw power is cool.

So, which book is the most suitable for me?

Thanks

eshwar_ind<< you should start reading books by W Richard Stevens

eshwar_ind · 03-02-2004, 11:03 PM

ICO << Then start reading "The C Programming language by Dennice Ritchie" Practice all the exercises.

Infamous << Thanks His books are wonderfull . I will buy the book TCP/IP unleashed and start reading
