Currently David im working my way through' SAMS teach yourself C in 21 
days' ISBN 0-672-317664 £21.99.

Basically it splits C for beginners into 21 sections, each designed as 
one days study with a short Q&A.
it also includes a 7 section intro to C++ and Java.

The book is fairly well laid out ,logical and sticks to the ANSI C standard.

So far all the examples have compiled and worked! with GCC and any 
variances between unix systems and dos/windows have been clearly 
highlighted.

It would be an advantage to have some programming knowledge eg:basic as 
the learning curve is quite steep.

sofar 8 out of 10.

I think 21 days may be a little optimistic mind you....
