As i was trying to learn C as my first program, I thought it was going to be very hard because I've heard online that C is the not the ideal choice for getting started in programming as there are easier options like Python. But this book made learning C very easy, and had perfect explanations and examples. The way the authors relay the information is not hard to understand if you have absolutely no programming experience. The coding examples they have you copy from the book into an IDE are great ALTHOUGH I do wish that they gave some problems that we are supposed to try on our own so that all of the coding done through the book wasn't copied from it.. One of the problems with this book is the ending- because it kind of just leaves you with no idea of what to do next, and how to keep furthering your knowledge of C... After I read this book I had no idea what to do next and had a hard time trying to find resources for "intermediate" C. Still, I would recommend this book to anyone who has no programming experience at all and would like to learn C as their first language.This book is also good for people who have prior programming experience and want to learn C, although you will have to read through what is an int, str, etc.. Review: Very nice (physical edition) - So a disclaimer. If you ever want to learn something or research something, go old school and buy the book. I love my kindle and use it frequently. For novels. Otherwise I like a physical book I can leaf through the pages with. This book probably needs to be read physically. The larger pages have more real estate, and it is easier to grab information that way. Anyway, the book is excellent. It really is a step by step approach building a solid foundation of C, and you don't need prior programming experience. Take your time. Make sure you do it consistently, however. Like foreign languages, coding needs to be practiced daily for it to sink it. If you do it once a week, or even every few days, it likely will be not enough for you to really burn the language into your head. You have to be consistent and frequent with your practice. If you are, this book is top notch for learning. The only downside is that there are quite a few little errors in the sample code. If you are careful, it is good. You copy down a program, it doesn't work, and then you need to spend the time and effort to track through everything to find the "gotcha". That is probably great for practicing and learning C. At the same time, it is a little less than professional because it wasn't done on purpose. Despite that little downside, I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to learn C.

Cheers! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Author Needs to Work on Instructional Order (Ongoing Review) *by T***S on June 1, 2016* I plan on updating this review as I go. This book was specifically recommended for those less familiar with programming for a class I'm taking. The introductory information, vernacular, tips, and warnings are very helpful. However, for someone with absolutely no programming experience (but) with otherwise fair computer skills, this book left me pestering my programmer friends for guidance by the 2ND CHAPTER. I used the C compiler recommended by the book, as it only recommends one by name noting it's the one the book will be referencing. It notes there are hundreds of free compilers out there, but I want to follow the book in hopes of grasping the information better. Fine. And I get that some features are going to be different with updates, but I wasn't able to even start putting in code for practice because the book fails to explain how to go about creating a new project in code blocks. I looked under the (new) project option which had a dozen different types of project models. None of which is mentioned. Then I went to file, which lead me to believe I had to have pre-installed .c files on my computer. Instead, I'm creating the name of my project here. The book fails to elucidate how to go about starting a new project. Again, this is a book for beginners with no experience whatsoever necessary. That means you have to spell things out step-by-step. **** Update After reviewing the material, I find the author's style of the aforementioned setting up and using the c-compiler to simply be a matter of poor layering or structuring on his part. In this case, he put the cart before the horse, detailing what I needed to know after showing and suggesting I test out the code on the page before me. I think I will be better off reading this after my coursework is up to date, and only sticking with my coursework compiler, as the code blocks is still a little confusing to me. While this book will certainly be more helpful down the line, he almost needs to postpone the user getting onto code blocks or another c compiler a few chapters later, after they've become familiar with a few aspects and rules of the language. Further Update: Ultimately, setting aside setting up the code blocks compiler, the information the author provides in this book is extremely helpful. I'm still rather green (new) around the edges but I'm finding the examples very helpful. Knowing what I do, I would have skipped the 2nd chapter on set up and moved forward with learning the basic principles and rules of programming before trying to build anything on code blocks. ## Frequently Bought Together - C Programming Absolute Beginner's Guide - C Programming Language, 2nd Edition - C Programming For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech)) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1463423-c-programming-absolute-beginners-guide](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1463423-c-programming-absolute-beginners-guide) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
