  I needed to re-learn C programming for a mid-career change. This book was a life saver. I will never forget how details the explaination was about printf. That book is incredibly thorough.

  Well for self-teaching Python and JS/TS/html/CSS I mainly just followed YouTube videos with a healthy dose of side projects. For learning Elixir I bought "Elixir in Action" and then supplemented with my own side projects.

  +1. King’s is amazing, IMO. Very didactic and covers C in depth.

  This is my favorite of the bunch. I remember picking it up as a long time C dev hoping to learn a new, modern approaches. It helped hammer home that you can only modernize a 50 year old language so much. I didn't come away with from it with a lot of new tricks or techniques. It's just a dated language that has a very specific time and place and when using it, you have to deal with its age.
