Summary: Belongs on every C/C++ developer's bookshelf.
Review: I just had to review this book again. It's awesome. Even though I now spend the bulk of my development time writing in C/C++, I find myself needing reference books. I've got a few good ones, but when they get too technical _or_ they gloss over what I need to know, I find myself turning to my (now worn out) copy of King. Yeah, I keep my coffee cups on it too(when I'm not using it), but this wear and tear is from constant use :). This book will tell you all you need to know about ansi/iso C. And if you're ambitious, you can teach yourself a lot more by doing the problems. If you're _serious_ about learning C, or if you already know it and need a good reference then this book might be for you. Read it, write the code, read it some more and write some more code... When you're done you will know C...and know it well. Of course if you have a hard time with this book, you might want to try Visual Basic for Dummies. I hear that it's real uh, basic.

Summary: Excellent
Review: I received this book as a gift about two years ago. It's probably the most useful C book I have on my shelf. It's a great reference, as it covers more of the C language than any other book I've seen. It answers a lot of questions, and even goes into detail about low-level operations. Any C (or even C++) programmer should have this book.

Summary: Great book...if you're a Rocket Scientist
Review: I thought this book was yet Another "Too-Technical" C Book that was made no effort in explaining concepts in plain english. The content was just too much too fast. And WAY too much algebra. Good luck with the exercizes, they're *impossible* (Check out page 30, problem #5, I was like "What is he Talking about?!"), and it got worse from there. By the time I got to chapter 6 I got so lost that I completely "zoned out" of this book and never picked it up again. I wish I could return it, but it is a nice book to rest my coffee cups on. I really thought that this made zero effort at humor or easy learning, or even plain english (like it said it would in chapter 1). The best book for newbies (with the worst title) is "C for Dummies" by Dan Gookin (Check out the reviews here on Amazon.com). C for Dummies holds your hand every step of the way and makes it easy and fun to learn advanced topics.

Summary: Complete C text for experienced programmers.
Review: I took about a week to finish reading this book. It's not very easy to understand. If you have programming experience, it will not be hard for you at all. The drawback of this book is lack of examples. The author just keep talking and talking. The examples are very important for beginners. Overall, it's a good book.

Summary: One of the Best Books on C in my opinion
Review: I've seen quite a few books on C and this, is by far, the best of them all. King explains the many aspects of C with a wonderful and dynamic clarity that keeps the reader interested. In the world of computer science, writing books that keep the reader interested is no easy task, but King pulls it off rather eloquently.

Summary: Best book on C programming
Review: If you really want to lern C language you should read this book first af all. It is written in simple language that can be understand by non English spaeking people.

Summary: The excelence in writing
Review: In the short period of time I've been in programming I've had a chance to read a variety of programming tutorials as well as references covering several different languages, no other book I've read in any programming langage from any author comes close to this one. This book covers the entire C language in a very clearly explained, to the point, and entertaining manner. This book is both an excelant tutorial as well as a very usefull C language referance. After reading this book you'll know all you need to know to get into C programming. Every time you read this book you'll become more of a C language guru, for there is a lot on every page and even between the lines.

Summary: KNK is a fitting companion to K&R.
Review: King has done it! This is the book that rightly claims bookshelf space next to the canonical text, "The C Programming Language" by Kernighan and Ritchie (K&R2). King's more expansive style contrasts with the word economy that characterizes K&R2. It can be treated as supplemental reading to better flesh out K&R2. However, the book can stand alone on its many merits. It's one of the five "must have" books for the serious C programmer or student
Rating:
Summary: A first-rate introduction to C programming
Review: King's excellent book appears to separate serious students of C from mere dabblers, judging from some of the other comments in this stack.
