Book Overview
C Programming in easy steps, 4th edition has an easy-to-follow style that will appeal to anyone who wants to begin programming in C, from programmers moving from another programming language, to the student who is studying C programming at school or college, or to those seeking a career in computing who need a fundamental understanding of procedural programming. The book begins by explaining how to download and install a free C compiler so that you can quickly begin to create your own executable programs by copying the book's examples. You need have no previous knowledge of any programming language so it's ideal for the newcomer to computer programming. Each chapter builds your knowledge of C. It contains separate chapters on the major features of the C language. There are complete example programs that demonstrate each aspect of C together with screenshots that illustrate the output when that program has been executed. The sample code provided all has colored syntax-highlighting for clearer understanding. By the end of this book you will have gained a sound understanding of the C language and be able to write your own C programs and compile them into executable files that can be run on any compatible computer.

Good reference
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I like this book and use it. C for dummies is too full of words having nothing to do with c while many other books are too full of words having so much to do with c that you can not find anything. This is the ABCs of c. It does not include algorithms or cover the peculiarities of special function registers in micro-controllers but if you haven't used "case" in awhile or forgotten the symbol for nor it is a great reference. I've recommended it to colleagues and have received good feedback.
Great Book for Beginners and people who want to learn the syntax

I bought this book a few years ago. It has been great. Very helpful in learning the syntax of C. Maybe not so helpful if you are totally new to programming. It doesn't provide challenging concepts. If you need a quick way to learn C, this book is the best way to go. I help teach kids Robotics and we program in C. This book is by far the most useful for them in learning C.
Good quick reference book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
When it comes to a book like this, one thing I try to do is consider what the book says about itself. Does it claim more than it shows? This is a good book for what it sets out to do - show you C programming in easy steps. It helped me get through my Programming I class this past semester. There were many times when I found myself plowing slowly through my classroom text book. It was a good text, don't get me wrong, but it was also big and contained more lengthy explanations which took me twice as long to read. I simply didn't have that time. McGrath's books hit the nail on the head for me several times throughout the semester quick and easy. It told me what I needed to know and showed me a quick example of how to do something. Does it show you everything that you need to know in C? Of course not, but then keep in mind that it doesn't claim to do so. A good handy reference book if I say so myself.
A great and easy way to start to learn C

I found the book to be written very clear and easy to understand and covering the basics of C. With many screenshots and code that had differt colorings made following the examples alot easier to follow. If your starting off in C programming and not looking for something intimidating then this is a good book to start with.
