ProgrammingThis forum is for all programming questions.
The question does not have to be directly related to Linux and any language is fair game.

The later was a book I had to get for a course. At $90 CAN it was fairly expensive, but turned out to be one of the most enjoyable books I've read on any subject. It might not be super detailed in the end, but it offered a great introduction.
Make sure you have a good understanding of C before trying to read either book.

The first one of those was writting by K&R. They created C, it is a must have for serious C fans.
K&R C is about 30 years old, and even if it is still supported by gcc, it soon won't be any more (for good reasons). Today's standard is Ansi-C (see 'man gcc', option -ansi).

The 2nd edition covers ANSI C (published in 1988), so I don't think that'll be a problem.
