If you want to learn C, K&R is the right way to do it.
C: A Reference Manual is excellent and is probably the only other C book you need, but only if you are already a C programmer, and only for what the title implies: reference.
- jetsnoc 14y agoIn addition to K&R I always recommend "C Interfaces and Implementations: Techniques for Creating Reusable Software" to anyone who is picking up a long-term hobby or career in C. Someone on this forum recommended it to me. It's been invaluable assisting me in refactoring major portions of a legacy code base. In a way, it's helped me bring the DRY principle to our C application. I write in C every single day though and it may not be applicable for a hobbyist/generalist.
- andrewflnr 14y agoThat's probably the book I need. I've wondered how I'm actually supposed to structure stuff in C so it's not too gross.
- batista 14y agoK&R is a book not suitable for beginner tutorial in C, especially modern C. As a reference type work, ok.
- AlexFromBelgium 14y agoI've already read K&R! Don't worry. I know it's the must-read book on C.
