Top 4 Recommended books to learn C

In this video I talk about the 4 core books that have helped me learn the C programming language. This is not the end all be all of C programming books. These are just my recommendations.

Check out my review on the Linux foundation course (LFD401) if you want to diver deep into programming on Linux

The playlist includes:

The books I recommend are:

The cleanest video of this type I've seen. Love the to-the-point presentation.

In the late 90s early 2000s I got a bachelor’s in information technology. The first language we learned was C with a dose of assembly Java and then HTML. We would compile using windows, after we mastered that we used code warrior or the miracle c work bench. I ended choosing a different career path about as far from tech as possible. C allows an understanding of tech that is unmatched. You will be shocked how much of every language you know, just from C to a basic knowledge of the Cisco operating commands. You have really understand what you are doing with C, it is programming without training wheels. Our text was C primer plus which was a little overwhelming. I ended up buying a book called beginning c, by Ivor Horton.

The 1st book was NOT written by Mr. Stallman. Mr. Stallman wrote the book's foreword.

Thanks for sharing your precious knowledge with us.

I learned C from K&R and never bought another book specifically on C (except for updated K&R).

[linkpad]

I also recommend 'Modern C' by Jens Gustedt

[nieczerwony]

I would personally add "Understanding Linux kernel" book.

[gaudnorm]

I recommend "The Linux Programming Interface".

[LukeAvedon]

"Points On C" Looks so so good.

[KarthikR-mhtj]

The video was really great. So would you recommend the learning C starting from compiler ending with Linux Programming Interface ?

Reading a good book about the command line, especially the unix/linux, is always good. You get reminded about special tools that can make your life easier as you need them. Also as a beginner you need it to walk within the environment, as an expert you need it to work on the environment...

i'm beginning to fall deeply in love with C.... am i gonna be ok???

[drygordspellweaver]

love C but unfortunately newer trends are deprecating access to it in its pure form. I had a lot of troubles with windows API using C as they insist on not supporting it for some reason, despite the fact windows is basically written in C.

[chrissaltmarsh]

The first book on computer language I ever read (as a working physicist, not a computer scientist. A tool of the trade) was the original K&R.
Pretty soon I could get to what C would do because, well, it would do that. That is why they built it like it is.
The other one everyone should read, of the same vintage, is The Mythical Man-Month, Fred Brooks, which is a terrible warning of stuff that can happen.
Good vid, thanks.

Why are these old books so ridiculously expensive?

[markymarco]

And the IDE's and working with large projects?

[Jaqopx]

Hi, are the "GNU Make Reference Manual: Version 4.2 " the newest version of the book or different. Thank you

Thanks for the suggestions, they will be very helpful. ='u
