Even if you buy other books buy that one as well. It will be an indispensable companion in your "C" programming career :). A lot of the people involved with "C', Unix and the tools in the early days of Unix knew how to write concisely and in good style. There are other treasures from those days that are still invaluable books whether you work with Unix for fun or for your paid employment... or for both :) Cliff > On Thursday January 04, 2001 13:03, Zaitsau, Andrei wrote: > > Hello Everybody, > > I want to start learning C programming ! > > Does anyone want to suggest couple of beginners books on C (So I can > > practice on my FreeBSD machine) ? > > Please note, I completely new to C . > > Thanks. > > > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
