C Programming

[Norton Trevisan Roman]

Sorry mate, but for beginners, Shildt's book is not the best... it's
really good as a quick reference, for it's clear and covers a lot of
stuff, but it's by no means easy for beginners...

here you have a list of places where you can find online books

the best book I've seen so far is "how to think like a computer
scientist", which is available for python, java, C++ and logo(???)

the main site for the book is
