ahem. Yashwant Kanetkar is (was?) indeed a very popular book in college. But I've realized it is not neccesarily all that good a book as it seemed when in college. Man, all the crazy, jumbled, impossible to maintain and complicated pointer arithmetic he uses to explain pointers when none of it is necessary? If you write code like that in your professional career, you'll be fired. The C Programming Language By Brian W. Kernighan and Dennis M. Ritchie should be a good place to start learning C. But I'm a C++ guy, I wouldn't know whats best. . As Thomas said, do seriously consider learning C++ instead of C. Cheers - Ananth
