-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, During my degree, BEng (Hons) Electronics and Communications Engineering, we did C programming every year, but I never kept it up, as I had no interest and didn't see the point. But now I really want to get back into it as I see a point with GNU/Linux. I want to get my old skills back and write something or help on some projects etc. I need some good books. I used to have one called "A Book On C", but sold it, and I have been reading various tutorials on the web and the many devoted websites. Anyone have any recommendations? One more question, should I go for C or C++? Which will benefit me more with GNU/Linux? Thanks for your time, Gavin. - -- Regards http://www.magicfx.co.uk http://www.suretecsystems.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/7e2+gNqd7Kng8UoRAhUtAKDlrcCyps8u2np/oWmaNhdIzQYgZACglgie ZILiJ/xcupSuH3qn8/bNTBk= =UjkD -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

A good resource for programming books is the ACCU website, they have one of the best book review sections around. www.accu.org (look for the book reviews link). -- GPG fingerprint = 3D45 5509 D380 26A4 523E A9D8 A66A 5F38 CA43 BB0E

Anyone have any recommendations? I learned C using the original K&R, but it is really outdated. At Northeastern we use C Programming A Modern Approach, K. N. King, W W Norton, ISBN 0-393-96945-2.
IMHO: I prefer people learning C before learning C++. Both languages
have many things in common, but there are some differences between the
two languages where not all legal C code will compile under C++.
