Thread: C Book Recommendations

Let us C by Yeshwanth Kanitkar - I got this book from my college
library. This is a popular book and is available everywhere. The language
used is simple and is the best for beginners.
It is a MUST for all beginners! and is in pretty simple language too!

This is the problem........C is not an Easy language. Every wondered why System Engineers get paid the most and not Java programmers?........

Let us C does not tell you anything about :- Memoization, Defensive Programming and Writing Secured C code.

These 3 aspects are the core of any decent C program and Let us C tells you nothing about that.

And what about explaining the C libraries?......Ok C has only a bunch of libraries but <ctype.h>, <string.h> and other libraries deserve mention.
