352 pages of very easy to read and understand text. I tried the Kindle sample, and the PlayBooks one. This is much better IMO. The code examples are well commented, and very relevant to the subject. Will definitely start purchasing all my tech manuals this way, as it's FAR more convenient to car...Full ReviewAugust 31, 2018
As a person who was interested in C but never had strength and patience to fully understand it I am extremely satisfied with this book. It teaches you basic programming concepts which may discourage someone who programmed before but it didn't bugged me. The book is divided into easily understandable parts and covers a large portion of C programming language. Some of the chapters might seem advanced such as saving files to the computer, setting up data structures or allocating the heap but they are explained really well. Overall a great book, a must-have for someone starting with programming or just wanting to learn C.Jan 25, 2015
This is the textbook for one of the courses I teach. I recently read it to review the changes between this (3rd) edition and the 2nd edition of the text. I was pleased to find that some, but not all, of the corrections I had made to the text in my lecture notes were addressed in the new edition.June 5, 2017

Still reading this book, but am using it in the CS50 course (online auditing) The nice thing about the book is that it is fairly simple to follow, and it also works with a free compiler (CodeBlocks) that you can download and code along with the programs the book shows.Nov 27, 2019
Ooooh math scary!Apr 25, 2016
It's a great book for ABSOLUTE beginners, as the title suggests.Mar 16, 2016
Blown away by this book! Reading it as a beginner, I must say everything is explained so well that I just have to recommend it to anyone starting out. Plus, when you finish it, perhaps read it 2 or 3 times, you are not only no longer a beginner but already an intermediate programmer! Amazing book. Superbly written so that it is easy to understand. 5/5!Oct 17, 2016
You do not need to have any programming knowledge to understand this book. It is what it is, an absolute beginner's guide. It offers an amazing learning experience for the reader. With the free code block compiler available online you are good to go.Aug 22, 2017
Complements CS50 well, but I find it lacking in itself as there are no exercises or problem sets in the book, and just copying code is not a very efficient way to learn. On the other hand, it did clear up some things from CS50, so ultimately it was worth reading.Dec 11, 2017
Not a bad resource, but I find the lack of exercises allowing you to fill in or try out your own code disappointing.Jul 01, 2016
Really well done short book introducing actual beginners to C Programming. Uses analogy and examples to walk you through concepts. writer definitely understands how to teach. (I wish i wouldn't have looked at his author page though, sheesh, more programming books and less of the others, please.)Jul 18, 2015
Only gives you a glimpse of what the language is about..which is perfect for beginners. managed to finish this in two slacking workdays.April 6, 2015

Will definitely start purchasing all my tech manuals this way, as it's FAR more convenient to carry a tablet around.Take your time and choose the perfect book.
