Hi all,

I about to write an article on which is the best programming book on my website, and was wondering whether you might set me some recommendations. I have no knowledge of the C language, but I am also planning to start learning the language so this might also be a good starting point for myself.

In your opinion which do you think is the best book on C programming. It can be at any level.

Thanks.

I moved this to the Lounge, as this is for discussion rather than coding help.

The term "best" is abused too often to mean much, are you looking at which book is well written for a beginner? A book that teaches good coding standards and skills to maintain code?

I would recommend personally this one, anther nice O'Reilly book:
Practical C Programming, Third Edition - O'Reilly Media

If a suggested code/method fails, informing us is less important than telling us why or what errors occurred.

I've always heard that K&R's "The C Programming Language" is excellent.
Programming is a branch of mathematics.

Thanks for your suggestions, I was hoping to get a lot of opinions since this is a programming forum.
