C Programming in Easy Steps
C Programming in easy steps has an easy-to-follow style that will appeal to anyone who wants to begin programming in C, from programmers moving from another programming language, to the student who is studying C programming at school or college, or to those seeking a career in computing who need a fundamental understanding of procedural programming.
C Programming in easy steps begins by explaining how to download and install a free C compiler so that you can quickly begin to create your own executable programs by copying the book's examples. You need have no previous knowledge of any programming language so it's ideal for the newcomer to computer programming. Each chapter builds your knowledge of C.
C Programming in easy steps contains separate chapters on the major features of the C language. There are complete example programs that demonstrate each aspect of C together with screenshots that illustrate the output when that program has been executed. The sample code provided all has colored syntax-highlighting for clearer understanding.
By the end of this book you will have gained a sound understanding of the C language and be able to write your own C programs and compile them into executable files that can be run on any compatible computer.
Fully updated and revised since the third edition, which was published in April 2009.

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.
