Just requested Practical C Programming from the library so will see how it helps. Found the Kenighan book I mentioned earlier rather abstract and jumping all over the place. Everybody raves about the book but I didn't think it was all that great.
Torben, the link for the ultimate book on Wikipedia doesn't seem to point to anything??, but the other link looks very informative. Thanks
It's more of a book for people who already know how to program in C.Many people say this (K&R) is the bible. I, for one, tell all newbies to stay as far away from it as possible. When i read it in the early 90's it made me feel so stupid i almost gave up programming.

Bryan,
Are you wanting to learn 'C' in general or is there a specific platform for which you will be programming? You may wish to look for a platform or compiler specific 'C' book that applies to your situation.
Have done some programming in VB and assembler. have a basic knowledge of programming concepts, but wanted to move to C for PIC's. Have a general feel for C but lost on pointers/arrays. Also feel it may be a good way to grasp and get a head start on other computer languages like Java and C# as the syntax is similiar, although object orientated programming is a whole different animal.
Excellent book. It's targetted at the 24F chips (he has the same book targetted at the 32-bit ones too). It will not teach you C, nor is it a C reference. The code is very understandable. He never gets too advanced for a mediocre programmer like me to understand, though there's a few parts where I learned new things. He does go over a bunch of the advanced uses of MPLAB, which is good. And the projects are interesting.I purchased "Programming 16-bit Microcontrollers in C" (Subtitled "Learning to Fly the PIC24") by Lucio Di Jasio for learning to program PIC processors in 'C'. I haven't read it yet (it is still in a huge stack of books-to-read) so I can't give a review but it looks good just thumbing through the pages.
This is a book for people with some programming experience but you don't have to be an expert programmer. It is specific to PIC processors so it may be what you need. Perhaps someone here has read the book and can give a proper review.
