Re: A good book on C Programming?

Wayyy back, when I was first learning C, I learnt it with no other experience than a little VisualBASIC/QBasic knowledge. It sounds like these books may therefore be a little below your level of ability (if you're already a Linux user you'll be pretty savvy anyway), but I found Volume I and II or C for Dummies to be a really good resource, if only for explaining basic concepts like arrays and basic data types. YMMV though, you're probably above that stage.

Two quick suggestions

I posted a C++-related question here a few months ago and one of the responses to that suggested I join a C/C++ club which I've been meaning to do for a while now. You can search off my past posts in either this forum or the Fedora-test-list forum.

Subscribe to C/C++ Users Journal ( http://www.cuj.com/ ), they are worth it but you need a level of expertise to really appreciate them. Herb Sutter's column alone is worth the subscription price.

Also consider the upcoming book "C++ GUI Programming With Qt 3" By Blanchette and Summerfield. Due out in January.

Hi all,

During my degree, BEng (Hons) Electronics and Communications Engineering, we did C programming every year, but I never kept it up, as I had no interest and didn't see the point. But now I really want to get back into it as I see a point with GNU/Linux. I want to get my old skills back and write something or help on some projects etc.

I need some good books. I used to have one called "A Book On C", but sold it, and I have been reading various tutorials on the web and the many devoted websites.
Anyone have any recommendations?


One more question, should I go for C or C++? Which will benefit me more with GNU/Linux?

Thanks for your time,

Gavin.
