| I have the Beginners book and it seems to be alright. C is totally
new to me and so far, I have been able to follow the book with no
problems. It is structured as a tutorial and starts out quite simple
then builds on itself. Short programs which demonstrate C principles
are included thoughout the book.
Whether it is the best book for learning C, I don't know. I feel
that all of the Abacus books are overpriced for what you get. Also,
there are a couple of typo's in the programs, but they should be
obvious. I think that they should have included an overview of
the C programming language and techniques at the start of the book.
Instead, they start right into writing a short program.
I guess that I would rate the book as fair to good and recommend
it until something better and lower priced comes along.
