Certified Course in C: Earn Your Certificate Through Self-Paced Instruction/Book and 2 Disk

Rating:
Summary: Excellent for the beginning programmer!
Review: I've completed the book and earned the certificate from University of Phoenix. Now, if the author would write a book like this for C++ and Java.

Summary: Had to special order this one, but it was worth the wait!
Review: Not much more that I can say. If you want to learn 'C' this is the one to get. The 'C' language is famous for a not-so-gentle syntax, but Himmel manages to make the learning process pretty painless. I finished the book and can now understand MOST of the 'C' programs that I encounter and can even write a few!

Review: This book helped me to learn C at my own pace and provided the opportunity to earn a certificate and course credit through the University of Phoenix. I now have the certificate and a better understanding of programming. I wish they had one like this for C++, which is my next hurdle.

Summary: EXCELLENT! When does the C++ edition come out?
Review: This is a great book for someone, like myself, who has had very little (if any) previous programming experience.

It took me about 2 months to finish this book, studying in the evenings for a couple of hours after work. I now have a much better understanding of C and have the certificate to prove it.

Now, I only wish that Himmel would come out with the same type of book for C++.
