I took a quick look at the web description of probably one of my favorite university courses I ever took and yes the book list has changed! K&R is not even recommended any more. It looks like the current bible is "C Programming A Modern Approach 2nd edition". I have not taken a look at this book but just for the fact that the course is using it, I would highly recommend it. I will take a look at it myself.
hope it helps! From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Date: Sun, 20 Dec 2009 23:02:36 -0700 Subject: Re: [clug-talk] Recommendations for C Programming Book Hello. I own Kernighan and Ritchie, I`ve even used it as a reference in the more distant past. It definitely is one of the great classics in Computer Science. I think I might use K&R, Expert C Programming and the Programming Praxis website to get back up to speed. Most of the tutorial based books seem to simple. Nothing like diving right back in.

The reason that I prefer the other book is that there is more information including tips for C compiler writers.
