Best resources for C

[Peter Vaughan Truslow]

I am currently taking a programming in C class to start my foray into programming.

I am using K N King's "C programming, a modern approach, 2nd edition"

What resources do you recommend for getting into C?

I'll be doing C++ and java next year. For now just C.

Just a few details : I am using Ubuntu with GCC

Try Lynda.com, with this link, you should get a free 10 day trial, and that should be enough to get you through at least a C Programming Essentials and maybe a C++ Essentials course as well. Then after than, you can decide if you want to pay the $25 a month for it. I believe it's worth it if you're going to use a lot of the material at hand

 

EDIT: @ remember to follow your topics

I was going to recommend looking at this book list, but you have one of the top choices on there already. So I say just keep working through that book until you're done.

 

The textbook my class used when teaching us C is also on that list (2nd from the bottom). It's C Programming Language (2nd Edition). It's a great reference book and not so much for beginners to programming, but it might be good to pick up to go along with the one you already have.

 

Between those books, your class, and playing around with coding things yourself, you should be fine. You've got the internet and these forums to help you through any issues that arise.

Then just program random things until you understand it. In my experience, it's by far the best technique.
