The C Programming Language door Brian W. Kernighan
I have long since given up programming in C when it was by my side every day, but I keep it for three reasons, keep your best memories, keep you worst memories and the fact I could basically do my entire job using the contents of a single book is a bit mind blowing, in the days on StackOverflow, where we reach for an answer from the hive mind, rather than working it out from first principles
This is a good entry point for learning the C language, provided that you already have some programming experience. It's terse without sacrificing detail. Supplementary reading is required if you wish to learn more about e.g. C compilers, debugging under Linux, socket programming, including external libraries and how to properly modularise C programs, but it is evident that those subjects simply lie outside of the scope of this work, and that's fine.
While I understand and appreciate the historical significance of this book, I really don't think it has aged well for the modern programmer. I found it to be a not bad refresher for the C language, but anything beyond that I would try to find another source to learn C. It felt to me that you already needed to know a fairly low level programming language to understand how to do something in C, compared to a modern learner who probably is using C to start learning more lower level ideas. It also compares C to languages which aren't in wide use anymore (at least for beginner languages), as well as referencing the C language prior to the ANSI standard (which feels pointless at this point in time.)
Again, I understand its a significant historical book for C, but if someone asked me for recommendations on a beginner textbook for programming or the C language, I wouldn't recommend this one.… (meer)

One of the best technical manuals ever written. Happy memories: at my first job I programmed microcomputers in Z80 assembly language. I learned C from this book and introduced the language to the shop...
