Review:
This is the book for C programming, written by the masters themselves. Not the greatest book to learn programming from, but if you can program in some language of the same level as C then you can learn C from this book and from doing it yourself and experimenting with C.

Review:
The title of this book invites comment. "Some things weren't meant for dummies and Unix is one of them," you might say. Wrong!

Review:
Being a complete newbie to advanced scripting languages (ok, I know some javascript, but that's all) I wanted to learn PHP. And there couldn't be an easier book than this one. This book covers PHP as well as some basic programming elements needed to understand PHP. A wonderful way to learn not only coding in PHP, but coding in general. Certainly, this book is recommended for people who want to learn PHP.
