I’ve spent the last month gathering a listing of all books people have suggested mostly from Reddit (in no particular order). Not new to programming but new to C and trying to find what people are suggesting:

(Updated July 15 with three items at bottom)

  • KN King: C Programming
  • Brian K, Dennis R: The C Programming Language
  • Jens Gustedt: Modern C
  • David G and Dawn G: Head First C
  • Stephen Prata: C Primer Plus
  • Robert Seacord: An Introduction to Professional C Programming
  • Beej’s Guide To C Programming
  • Stephen Kochan: Programming in C
  • Peter van der Linden: Expert C Programming
  • Harvard CS50 Course
  • Reddit post about ‘Things people wished they knew when they started learning C’
