The K&R book was for decades my gold standard of a programming book. Perfectly clear and concise, its one notable failing being that it's obsolete. The Rust Programming Language [1] has since equalled and surpassed it in my mind. Hats off for Steve Klabnik & Carol Nichols :) (note, I'm not saying Rust is a better answer than Fabien's recommendation, just that its book is as high quality as the excellent K&R) [1] https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/
