Learning C online?
 

What are the best websites (or HTML or PDF free books available for
download and if so where) for learning C?

Is this a good site:

This question is asked here often, even this week. Search through the
archives for 'tutorial'

You can download my tutorial, and the compiler that goes with it.
It is an easy system to install (6MB download, 30 second install)
and I try to explain things from the ground up.

So are 99% of the questions. What is your point?

Hi Jacob,

I use a Linux OS.

I recommend The C Book, which is available at:

No, it isn't.

If you'd like a list of reasons, let me know. If you'd rather save time and
just have the answer to your original question, check these out:

Steve Summit's excellent, and rather gentle, tutorial can be found at
<http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/cclass/>; the serious C student will benefit
most from this tutorial if he or she has a copy of "The C Programming
Language", 2nd edition, by Kernighan and Ritchie. Tom Torfs takes a rather
more austere approach; this doesn't suit everybody, but many people have
found it extremely helpful. His tutorial can be found at
<http://cprog.tomsweb.net/cintro.html>.

Essential reference: "The C Programming Language", 2nd Ed. Kernighan &
Ritchie. Prentice Hall, 1988. ISBN 0-13-110362-8 (paperback), or
0-13-110370-9 (hardback) - will pay for itself many times over during the
course of your programming career.

This isn't suitable for a complete beginner though. IME it's even harder
than K&R2 for someone new to programming.

You can still use lcc-win32 (and it's executables) under WINE in Linux.

The right question, given that its author is (by his own admission, in
that other thread) incapable of reading code beyond 2000 lines, whether
you should take that risk.
