Hi
I was wondering if there is any good books on C programming (new to it) and I want to learn. Also is there any books out there that shows you how to make window apps in C, most show you coding through msdos, which is great, but I was also wondering if there is any that shows you how to make apps also.
Newbie question ;)
Thanks in advance

There are lots of good books on C. Just search google for them. Some sights will have reviews of different books. I've seen a few sites with book reviews, I think www.programmersheaven.com is one of them. If you're looking for doing windows in C, just look for windows programming books, most likely the book will use C as its programming language. If you have the time, nothing beats a good half or whole hour at the bookstore. Just spend a little time with each book, reading the intro or first couple pages, and get a feel for which ones you like the most.
Thanks :)
Love that link too and I will spend a few hours at a book store figuring one that will suit my needs :)
I have two in mind for learning c , but wanted one to work with apps in c too , just cant seem to find one
Thanks again

A lovely beginner site.
Eddie's Basic Guide to C
ACCU. If you're just starting out then you should stick to highly recommended books.
Great site :)
thanks for the link I wrote down about three I wouldnt mind getting
Thanks again for all the help

While it might not be the thing for a beginner, if you at all want to understand C well, you must eventually read the bible, K&R's "The C Programming Language".
I have that book. Too terse and cryptic for a beginner.
I am using C How To Program (3rd Edition) by Deitel & Deitel. I like these authors. I have several of their books like Java, C++, E-Commerce Programming, & Perl.
I have many books on C++ but only one book on C.
I think it is a great if you can have the 13 years of C/C++ Users Journal CD Release 3 - January 1990 through December 2002. I bought this CD 2 days ago. Very good. I am copying this into my Pocket PC to read this book on the train & bus.
It is great to have Pocket PC! With it I can finished a 400 pages book on ASP.net in just one week.
