This is a beginner's text. Highly recommended in that context.

I've been "learning C" for nearly 30 years. I've never had the need to use it commercially, nor in anger for personal projects. I've started reading K&R on many occasions but always hit an interrupt, usually as other people's real-world code seemed impenetrable as a learning resource and other texts hadn't prepared me for it. This book has changed that for me. I highly recommend it if you are just starting out on or indeed, restarting, your C journey."This is a book for intermediate to advanced-level C programmers" says the author. No, I can't agree. If you've already achieved that level of proficiency, a) you really should already know what is presented here, they are simple but foundational concepts and b) I think you'll resent being spoken to as if this is the first time you've heard of the concept of a variable.Neither is this a day 1 text for absolute beginners, you will need to understand basic syntax, program structure and how to compile and run code already in order to be able to take any learning from it.However, if you're a novice with ambitions to master C eventually, I think this is an excellent resource and very good value at the price (I purchased the paperback edition, which is of good quality and laid out well). It's a small book and covers just a handful of pointer-based topics. In some ways it reads as a 'missing chapter' from a larger tome on the language. However, the author's treatment of them and use of small, easily digestible code examples which he walks through in great detail works to give RETAINED learning of a foundational topic. I found re-writing the code myself from memory at the end of each chapter based on it's learning objectives really helped to cement the knowledge gained. The author's clear and well presented description of the problem and solution objectives in each case facilitates that, as does his choice of examples.Most importantly of all, I'm now capable of examining real-world code in github et al, without being thrown by ''weird pointer syntax / declarations" on every other line. If you're new to C, you will need to master pointers and their use and I found this book to be an excellent first step along that path.
