Programming in C (3rd Edition) Review by Java to C convert
Great reference covering aspects K&R do not well enough
Face it, too many books, electronic and in print, that cover this language. What I enjoy most about Kochan's book is the presentation of material from a digestible introduction onto more complex topics but with the presentation of the core code first.
What I would expect that K&R do not always bring. I own both texts in print if it is not obvious by now and recommend both for understanding basic and essential concepts, especially about pointers and structs. For the price and heft, Kochan's book can not be beaten and his coverage of OOP especially in this time is appreciated.
No, C is not Object Oriented but I am looking at diving into Objective C (Kochan published a book) when I have learned more data structures. I am using this book for a class now that is Systems Programming and heavy with UNIX and, of course, C. If you buy it, I am certain it will retain value as a reference beyond completion of study.
