content: Contrary to what the title of this book implies, this is one of the worst book I've ever read, and I regret I bought the book. Let me tell you a story. As a college student I had some difficulties finding a good grip on C's complexities so I just did my best to pass the subject and forget all about C. Now as a professional, I must learn the language and searching for a book to teach me quickly, I UNFORTUNATELY stumbled on this book and after browsing through the pages, I was more confused than ever. The teaching style is TERRIBLE ! Alhough I learned a thing or two, it took me sometime, definitely NOT A TUTORIAL ! NOT FOR BEGINNERS ! For those wanting to learn C the SUREST and FASTEST way, I highly recommend "THE C PRIMER by Les Hancock and Morris Krieger". Kelley and Pohl maybe knows C, but they definitely do not know how to teach the language !
