I wrote a lot of criticism of C here. I do want to say the K&R book was a great read when I finally did some hands-on work with C. Credit to Victor Yodaiken for recommending it. The explanations were well-done. They gradually build up the examples. They actually did warn about common gotchas even then. Their examples mostly worked today with only minor tweaks. I used it with Clang’s and MS Visual Studio’s static analyzers.
