Books about C:
- The C Programming Language, Brian Kernighan and Dennis
Ritchie. The classic tutorial and reference, by the original creator
of the language and an early colleague. Concise but clear. Even the
second edition is now slightly out of date (it describes the ANSI
1989/ISO C90 standard), but the small differences won't affect 2021
much. Book home page
- C: A Reference Manual, Samuel P. Harbison and Guy L. Steele
Jr. Firmly a reference rather than a tutorial, this one goes for
completeness. The most recent fifth edition covers C99. Book home page
- C by Dissection, Al Kelley and Ira Pohl. Recommended by
some previous years' instructors, this textbook is based on an
approach of reading complete programs.
