Best Way To Start

Hello,
I'm new in this forum, and this is my first post, but i registered me in this forum, because i want to start in the C development world, i see the beatifull things that this language can do, remembeer that i develop in VB and a litle bit in Java, and i don't want books, i want tutorials and not those tutorials that only explain how to use a development language as a calculator.

Thanks,
Nathan Paulino Campos

if you don't want books, you will not learn anything
some programmers here appreciate their C++ book more than their wives and girlfriends

Hello Hussain Hani,
This joke was very good, but please help in this, but remember that i don't want to buy anything, because i'm starting, only when i got more experience in C i will buy some good books, but if you have some online books it's very good, better if i can download this books, because i hate those online books that you can't see all the pages.

Thanks,
Nathan Paulino Campos

You could try these
C Programming

I'm sorry, but you will not succeed in programming without having a book or 2 in your arsenal. They are the best way to start off!

Hello legit,
But i can read online books to, if you want share some good books, remember that those online books, it's better if i can download then and with all the pages. Remember that i like online books.

Thanks,
Nathan Paulino Campos

You don't have a library to borrow books from? Sometimes you can find some good books there.
And check the books thread for ideas. Perhaps one or two of them might suit you.

My personal opinion, nothing beats a good book. As Elysia said, look in the books thread for some good titles. If your not willing to sacrifice some money, then you might aswell walk away now.

Tutorials are great at teaching you the WRONG way to program. Tutorials are awful. Every little idiot and his dog wants to write a tutorial, and they do. Spend a year reading them, and I guarantee you'll learn all of the absolute worst ways to program.

Amazon.com: c++ programming

One I do not recommend for beginners is the one by Bjarne. His book is intense. Very, very, very good but not for beginners.

Yeah, online tutorials are likely to have 1000x more errata in them as well since there has been zero proofreading done. I've seen some simply atrocious ones. Another problem is that since the authors of online tutorials generally don't get paid for their work, their motivation to continue wanes after the first few installments.

Download "Thinking in C++." Best online C++ book by far.

Isn't "The C Programming Language" by K&R available for download as pdf too?
I've seen it in a few places although I was never sure if it was a legal download or not. One location was a college website if I recall.

Hello,
Thanks, for all, i'm going to buy a good book, but someone knows a good book of C programming that i can found here in Brazil, because i can't buy from Amazon, because i live in Brazil, and a book in portuguese is better to start.

Thanks,

Wait, isn't this about C and not C++?
That is what the OP stated - wanting to learn C, and it's also what the original links were pointing to - C Resources.
Yet this is in the C++ programming section?

Hmm. Good catch. I guess this is time to ask the OP the intent of the thread. Is this to just learn C or is it to learn both C and C++?

Hello Bubba,
I want to learn the best!

Then you should learn D-flat. It really is amazing! :cool:

*(Get a damn book.)

I think you are not sure what to do, which language to learn. By the way, what is best according to you?

I believe nathan is asking "the best" because he/she doesn't know which of C/C++ is best.
And then, the answer to that might be... depends. Depends on what you want to do.
Writing for embedded systems? Then maybe C is the best choice (since the majority of embedded systems have only a C compiler, even though there are some that has a C++ compiler).
Writing computer software? Then C++ is probably better.
Writing drivers? Then you're stuck with C.

Too vague.
