What Are The Best Resources for Teaching Yourself C

Question

Hi All,

I asked a couple of questions a while ago which have fed into this one, influencing what I want to do with my spare time:

What Language to learn to give me something different to C#

What Masters Programs are looking for

Aside from the basics, I know very little C. I want, and need, to know more C in order to be more successful at what I do, and to understand things at a deeper level.

So, my questions are:

What online resources / books would you reccommend for learning C?

Would you suggest in-person learning, if so where, and how much (London please)?

Basically, what resources should I use?

Answer 1

Kernigan and Ritchie is the best. Make sure it's the ANSI C version.

After that, get Guy Steele as a reference.

Answer 2

The Definitive C Book Guide and List

Answer 3

I loved Herbert Schildt's 'C Complete Reference' when I was starting out. Also strongly recommend K&R, a book you never outgrow as a C coder.
