Q: 

How to learn C these days?

The Definitive C Book Guide and List

A friend of mine needs to learn C as a prerequisite for a course he is taking. My knee-jerk response was K&R, but this is a 20-year old book we're talking about. There are quite a few newer books on C, but I haven't read any of them and don't have an opinion. Any recommendations?

+4  A: 

The C Programming Language is a classic but still applies.
