I want to learn C and I know there are quite a few programmers on this list. I am looking for a couple of good books on learning C. I am not exactly a beginner but I am no expert and i would like to start going over everything from scratch. So if I could get some referrals to a couple of books I would greatly appreciate it. I am looking for a good thorough beginners guide to C and also something for the intermediate programmer as I expect to get through the former in fairly short order. I ultimately will be directing my efforts at kernel hacking. As always , any advice and or opinion is gratefully received. Max
I took a C course ages ago and I am trying to refresh my memory. I have found many tutorials on C on the web. I am going through some of them now. I have already found a few that have errors in their examples or examples that are incomplete. Also, when searching, many of the results would return C++ links instead of C links.
As I am using Linux and gcc, I want to focus on using these tools. I had Turbo C but it was a Windows 3.1 version.
I need to learn C for working with microcontrollers for a few projects that I that I am now working on.
Now to dig through my boxes of books and find my C books, if I still have them.
Also, if you are going to use gcc, then look at the man pages for compiler flags and linking libraries. I came across this yesterday when I was looking for a lint program. Also you and type in man 3 {function} to get more information on that function.
