Books to learn C
Here are some books that are good introductions to C. There are many others in the bookstore. Also, check out the C books used by other courses.
  1. C Programming: A Modern Approach, by K.N. King, about $56. Used in CSC270. Quite clear and covers many topics.
  2. On to C, by P.H. Winston, about $25. An slower introduction with lots of examples. Covers less than King.
