I checked the sticky thread, but just saw C# and C++. I need a good book recommended for learning C, preferably something cheap off of Amazon. I'm getting into some Linux kernel development, eventually going to build a distribution.
Don't jump right into it

Worst possible advice.
Sometimes the best way to learn stuff is to force yourself right into it, especially for people like me who have short attention spans.

Um. What?

Exactly.
So, anyone know a decent book on this?
I read Teach Yourself C In 24 Hours. It's out of date and was probably just as shit when it was written. It did, however, teach me the basic foundations like pointers and stuff that let me progress further just by experimenting and reading around on the Internet
I'll check that one out. I still need a book that's up to date and not shitty.

The Holy Bible of programming. You can't get a better programming book than a programming book written by the language's authors.

I take it that you didn't read the 'up to date' part of his post
Why do you need an up to date C book? It hasn't changed since ANSI C.
C has been standardized. Therefore, that book is up-to-date and excellent. Buy it if you want.
The C Programming Language is K&R C, the OP will want a book on C99
[editline]08:27AM[/editline]
The Second Edition of the C Programming Language is based on a draft of the C89 standard, which is not the latest
It seems that The C Programming language, Second Edition covers the first ANSI C standard and not C99, sorry :P
So date doesn't matter.... so 'Teach Yourself C in 24 Hours' will get me going?
It'll get you going, but certainly don't treat it like gospel.
so you can teach yourself directx?
hm
must figure this out
Uh. What's this got to do with this thread?
Also, sure why not?
