I can't quite understand why the Kernighan/Ritchie book would be
recommended to a total beginner, but I liked Practical C programming from
O'reilly...it's a good intro, IMO, despite its title :) For C++ I use C++
Nuts and Bolts for Experienced Programmer from Osborne (I'm not sure why
he calls it for experienced programmers, because he goes through
everything, perhaps at slightly faster pace though).
Good luck :)
