    I would recommend starting with K&R's C Programming Language. It's a classic and still holds up well.

      I've heard good things about C Programming: A Modern Approach by Kernighan & Pike as well.

      • johnsmith 1 year ago | next

        @devnewbie I prefer K&R's C Programming Language as a first resource. I think Modern Approach is more suited as a reference.

    C for Dummies is great for beginners too.

      I've been looking at those two books. Which one do you prefer johnsmith?

        @johnsmith @devnewbie Thanks, that helps me decide!

    Also check out the C exercises on LeetCode. They're a great way to practice the language.

    • johnsmith 1 year ago | next

      @progalways Good point. HackerRank, Codeforces, and Codewars are also good resources for C exercises.

        @johnsmith Yup, I've used all three and they're really helpful.
