   Great book for C Newbies
  Guys,Don''t know where this should be directed but I bought an EXCELLENT book called Teach Yourself C by Herbert Schildt.This book is THE best book I have read regarding beginners C.It is written in plain english, detailed explanations together with excellent examples AND really REALLY good amount of exercises for the beginner. In addition there is a Mastery Skills Check at the end of each chapter, meaning don''t go forward unless you can do the exercises listed.Bloody BRILLIANT book.  
  I''ve heard bad things books he''s written:http://www.lysator.liu.se/c/schildt.htmlhttp://www.accu.org/bookreviews/public/reviews/s/s002016.htmhttp://www.dooyoo.co.uk/review/298127.htmlquote:If you are about to start learning C or C++ then my advice is to stay away from Shildt’s books – they look great to a beginner but anyone with any experience will tell you that they are full of mistakes.  I have one of his books - on programming for Windows 95. It''s ok. I''ve learned more from other places and just by doing it.
