I need some recommendations on the better books that are available for learning C. I learn well by reading and would prefer books that are well written with clear explanations of the material. I am told that the prof is not that great of a teacher, so be prepared to dig the stuff out on your own. And I thought that those kind only taught the undergrad classes. ;-) BTW, the official text for the class is The New C Primer. Any opinions? Also what tools (ports) will I have to have installed on my FreeBSD system to run and compile some of my work? The prof wants me to work in Winblows, and I explained about the bad case of hives that I get every time I boot that S--- up. Any and all advice is very much appreciated.
