C Programming in easy steps

by Mike McGrath

C Programming in Easy Steps instructs you how to create computer programs in the C language both on Windows platforms and on Unix-based platforms, such as Linux. It contains separate chapters on the major features of the C language. There are complete example programs that illustrate each aspect of C together with screenshots that illustrate the output when that program has been executed. C Programming in Easy Steps has an easy-to-follow style that will appeal to anyone who wants to begin programming in C. It will appeal to programmers moving from another programming language, and to the student who is studying C programming at school or college, and to those seeking a career in computing who need a fundamental understanding of procedural programming.

[Sergei Shneider]

This book is more like an almanac/reference. I found it very helpful - but i already know JS and python - but it felt like they touch on concepts very briefly so if someone was using this as their first programming book they mightve found it a bit of a challenging starting point.

Also it dedicates an equal amount of pages to all the concepts, which means the harder concepts are under-explained. Most importantly memory manipulation, which is probably the most critical part of C, isnt really explained in depth either.
