in reply to shameful admission

Someone simply must mention the C bible: Kernighan + Ritchie

Amazon Link to K+R

Not exactly a "C for dumbies" book! ;-) Written by the guys who wrote C.

If for no other reason, you can find out where "hello world" comes from (I think).

    I learned C from the original K+R (before ANSI C, prototypes, etc. and before programming/computer books were easily found in a mainstream bookstore...) It worked well for me - concise and to the point.
