But IMO a C programmer of any level doesn't necessarily need to have extensive knowledge of OOP.


Probably it's true only for driver makers. All ideology structure for software will be written on an OOP language(like lots of games).

If all you really want is OOP you should consider C#/Java/C++ not C. While C can be used for OOP, it takes a lot of work. But don't be concerned there is still a lot that can be done with C, you mentioned drivers, don't forget that most of today's operating systems are primarily C, and many of your games have quite a few areas that are probably written in C.

Now since this is a C book recommendation topic, we should probably get back on topic.

If you use C for embedded programming like I do for microcontrollers (Microchip PICs, ST microcontrollers), I would suggest: Embedded Software, Second Edition: The Works by Colin Walls.
This is more for people who are more advanced and are more intimate with electronics.

The prescribed text for my course at Melbourne University is by one of the professors, and it's surprisingly well written. It's really easy to read, and most of what it says is pretty much spot on! It's called "Programming, Problem Solving and Abstraction with C" by Alistair Morgan.

The C book I liked the most is "C Programming: A Modern Approach" by K.N. King.

I think that the book of Kernighan and Ritchie is good for people who already know C. It's too consice...

Hi guys,

Ive made steps toward learning how to code over the past few months and these are the books i have been using.

programming in C by Stephen Kochan
C programming absolute beginners guide by Miller and Perry.

What i would do is work out of programming in C primarily and if i came across a concept i had a particularly tough time wrapping my head around i would supplement from the beginners guide. What i found was that as i understood more, i would organically decrease the amount of reading i would need from the beginners guide. Both of these books are good, but i do think the beginners guide is purely supplemental and would not recommend using it alone. One major reason for this is the lack of exercises at the end of each chapter. Those exercises are where you really learn the language in my opinion.

It's a classic book, but things have moved on since it was published - the latest standard of the language is C11. So, I'd think you'd be better off getting a more up to date book.

No as stated in an earlier post Let Us C is really not a very good book, perhaps you should re-read the first dozen or so posts again.

I suggest "The C Programming Language by kernighan and ritchie".
Book is not enough for learning programming, problem solving skills are important.
so practice more exercise Problems and Solve Competitive Problems.

1. C Programming Examples
2. competitive Problems
