The Virtual Bookcase Reviews of 'Beginner's Guide to C':

Reviewer Rob Slade wrote:
Complete it is, tutorial it's not. Actually, that's a bit harsh, but I haven't found a good beginning introduction to C yet, and I guess I'll have to keep looking. Horton *does* provide tutorial guidance, but he doesn't start at a low enough level for the non- programmer. He begins, for example, by suggesting the newcomer write a program, and then seems to remember that there will need to be an editor, compiler and linker before we can do that. The material is not beyond any intermediate or advanced computer user, but the organization follows that of any standard programming course, assuming that the reader doesn't need to know any particular reason to learn this or that feature other than the fact that it will be on the final. Those who do follow through the book, working examples as they go, will have a good idea of how to use C, though perhaps not why. copyright Robert M. Slade, 1996
