Review: Absolutely Amazing Experience Reading this Book! - TL;DR- This book is amazing and is perfect for anyone who has no experience, or does and wants to learn a new language. As i was trying to learn C as my first program, I thought it was going to be very hard because I've heard online that C is the not the ideal choice for getting started in programming as there are easier options like Python. But this book made learning C very easy, and had perfect explanations and examples. The way the authors relay the information is not hard to understand if you have absolutely no programming experience. The coding examples they have you copy from the book into an IDE are great ALTHOUGH I do wish that they gave some problems that we are supposed to try on our own so that all of the coding done through the book wasn't copied from it.. One of the problems with this book is the ending- because it kind of just leaves you with no idea of what to do next, and how to keep furthering your knowledge of C... After I read this book I had no idea what to do next and had a hard time trying to find resources for "intermediate" C. Still, I would recommend this book to anyone who has no programming experience at all and would like to learn C as their first language.This book is also good for people who have prior programming experience and want to learn C, although you will have to read through what is an int, str, etc..
Review: Probably the best book to learn C ! - Wow, I am blown away at how well written this book is, it’s like the Author is reading my mind and then magically provides the answer to my question. It covers the basics and builds up , basic stuff I had forgotten and basic stuff I never knew bug should have , then builds up logically and smoothly. The only gripe I have is with the printing of the book , the “tips” are printed in a very faint typeface and it’s impossible for me to read unless I have light and reading glasses ( the main text doesn’t require this for me ). Yes there are a few errors in the book and the online Errata only lists one piece of code , however, the errors turn out to actually be good for prompting some analysis I’ve got a stack of C books and this one is my favourite The publisher support is beyond terrible but then again I just bought a book and there aren’t many good publishers anyway

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Author Needs to Work on Instructional Order (Ongoing Review)
*by T***S on June 1, 2016*

I plan on updating this review as I go. This book was specifically recommended for those less familiar with programming for a class I'm taking. The introductory information, vernacular, tips, and warnings are very helpful. However, for someone with absolutely no programming experience (but) with otherwise fair computer skills, this book left me pestering my programmer friends for guidance by the 2ND CHAPTER. I used the C compiler recommended by the book, as it only recommends one by name noting it's the one the book will be referencing. It notes there are hundreds of free compilers out there, but I want to follow the book in hopes of grasping the information better. Fine. And I get that some features are going to be different with updates, but I wasn't able to even start putting in code for practice because the book fails to explain how to go about creating a new project in code blocks. I looked under the (new) project option which had a dozen different types of project models. None of which is mentioned. Then I went to file, which lead me to believe I had to have pre-installed .c files on my computer. Instead, I'm creating the name of my project here. The book fails to elucidate how to go about starting a new project. Again, this is a book for beginners with no experience whatsoever necessary. That means you have to spell things out step-by-step. **** Update After reviewing the material, I find the author's style of the aforementioned setting up and using the c-compiler to simply be a matter of poor layering or structuring on his part. In this case, he put the cart before the horse, detailing what I needed to know after showing and suggesting I test out the code on the page before me. I think I will be better off reading this after my coursework is up to date, and only sticking with my coursework compiler, as the code blocks is still a little confusing to me. While this book will certainly be more helpful down the line, he almost needs to postpone the user getting onto code blocks or another c compiler a few chapters later, after they've become familiar with a few aspects and rules of the language. Further Update: Ultimately, setting aside setting up the code blocks compiler, the information the author provides in this book is extremely helpful. I'm still rather green (new) around the edges but I'm finding the examples very helpful. Knowing what I do, I would have skipped the 2nd chapter on set up and moved forward with learning the basic principles and rules of programming before trying to build anything on code blocks.
