Reader Reviews From Amazon (Ranked by 'Helpfulness') Average Customer Rating: based on 8 reviews. Great Purchase - C How to Program, 2009-06-30 Reviewer rating: This was a great buy. I recieved it right when I was told it would come in. This is a great book on the begining basics and intermediate level of C programming. | Great Book, 2009-06-03 Reviewer rating: This book is great for beginner programers and is also used for C++. Great examples and code to practice. | a cut and paste disappointment, 2009-02-08 Reviewer rating: I purchased the 5th edition of this book because I was very impressed with the 6th
edition of Deitel's "C++: How to program". I now regret that decision.
The two biggest flaws of this book are;
1)The lack of integration of the c99 standard into the text and examples. There is a (brief) chapter bolted on as kind of an after thought. Given that this standard had been out for at least 5 years since this edition was published it seems a bit lazy to not include more references to modern C earlier in the book.
2)The rather large focus on C++. 10 out of the 27 chapters deal with C++. If I had wanted a book on C++ I would have brought one, if fact, I did. This space could have been used on so many other useful things, like, how to produce larger C programs, or a non-windows IDE option for compiling.
On the plus side, there are plenty of chapter review questions, and exercises and pretty in-depth coverage of the c89 standard.
My advice is, if you want to know a bit about C as a stepping stone to C++, get the Deitel C++ book C++ How to Program (6th Edition) as it covers this information. If you want to do plenty of homework on C89, save yourself a lot of money and buy a second hand copy of an older edition.".C How to Program (3rd Edition) If you want to learn modern C and not C++, get another book.C Primer Plus (5th Edition) | An excellent program book!!, 2009-02-04 Reviewer rating: I have very limited programming experience, so when I had to buy this book for a class I was prepared for the worst, but actually this class is one of my favorites this semester, and this book is the reason why. It is amazingly easy (and even fun) to read and understand, whether your experienced or have never programmed with C in your life. A++++ | Good book, 2008-09-28 Reviewer rating: Great book for entry to C Programming. Good shipping, and timing. I received the book earlier than I thought I would! |
