â Head First C could quite possibly turn out to be the best C book of all time. I donât say that lightly. I could easily see this become the standard C textbook for every college C course. Most books on programming follow a fairly predictable course through keywords, control-flow constructs, syntax, operators, data types, subroutines, etc. These can serve as a useful reference, as well as a fairly academic introduction to the language. This book, on the other hand, takes a totally different approach. It teaches you how to be a real C programmer. I wish I had had this book 15 years ago!â

â Head First C is an accessible, light-hearted introduction to C programming, in the classic Head First style. Pictures, jokes, exercises, and labs take the reader gently but steadily through the fundamentals of Câincluding arrays, pointers, structs, and functionsâbefore moving into more advanced topics in Posix and Linux system programming, such as processes and threads.â
âVince Milner, software developer
