C Programming in Easy Steps

by Mike McGrath

C Programming In Easy Steps instructs the reader how to create computer programs in the C language both on Windows platforms and on Unix-based platforms, such as Linux. It contains separate, full-color 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 begins by explaining how to download and install a free C compiler so that the reader can quickly begin to create their own executable programs by copying the book's examples. This book makes no assumption that the reader will have previous knowledge of any programming language, so it's ideal for the newcomer to computer programming. Each chapter builds the reader's knowledge of C. By the end of this book the reader will have gained a sound understanding of the C language and be able to write their own C programs and compile them into executable files that can be run on any compatible computer.C Programming In Easy Steps has an easy-to-follow style that will appeal to anyone who wants to begin programming in C.

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.
