Quoting John Bourne to All

Well, if you're new it's not very hard to find a book about learning C

which contains a cut-down version of Turbo C++. So it'll cost you the

price of a good book on learning C, which isn't a bad thing. The only

one I've looked at is by Tom Swan, and if you're at all familiar with

any other language (I knew Basic, and Z80, 8080 and 8086 assembly

languages reasonably well) you should have no trouble learning C from

it (I did).





... Of course it's half eaten. You said you wanted the chef's salad.
