Can any recomend a better book for programming in C other than The C Programming Language, 2nd Edition (K&R) 1998.
Ive studied Java before and now moving into C and C++ after that hopefully.
cheers

What sort of book?
- Beginner learning the language level book
- Doing OK, but need a push to the next level book
- Experienced programmer in another language, but need a conversion to C book?
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
Considering your main goal is to get into C++ and considering that you're coming from Java, you might have an easier time going directly from Java to C++. C++'s concepts are more similar to Java's concepts than C's are.
If you understand what you're doing, you're not learning anything.
well ive done java for 2 years at uni now, and we have to do C programming as were doing sockets and stuff. The stuff we do is all done on the command line in unix, no proper gui's or anything.
I understand all the basics as there mostly the same in java, would like to write a few apps in C then move on to C++ to do some object oriented stuff.

I'm in the same situation as you are. And what has helped me tremendously is steve summit's site on C, which is a supplement to K&R.

go to introductory or intermediate class notes, there are also excercises to help

cheers for that, theres summit about books though that are way better than online guides. you can leave it on your desk and flick through the pages when u need to and not have to go trawling through the net. Plus i get to keep it on my desk with the rest of my book, im getting quite a collection.
by the way u at uni? where u at?
