I once had Harvey Deitel as a professor. I love their C++ book, "C++ How
to Program", but it is a large, complex book. The equivalent C language
book is "C How to Program". At Northeastern we used the Deitel book to
teach C++ but we used
"C Programming: A Modern Approach" by King as it was a simpler book.
