Perhaps the best introductory c book out there. (I said "perhaps" only because I have not read C Primer Plus by Stephen Prata.)

This was the course book for OOP in C course in my undergraduate studies. I really like Robert Lafore's writing style. He writes very close to the reader and answers questions as soon as they arise in reader's mind. He has done a great wrok, teaching fundamentals and advanced C topics to the new c programmers very efficeintly and in a friendly way.



A little negative point though is that there are number of errors there, specially with figures. However the new edition is out which has obvioulsy solved this problem.



One thing: this book is strictly for c beginners. For advanced programmers I would recommend C Primer by Stanley B. Lippman.
