try LET US C by yashwant kanetkar or
PROGRAMMING IN ANSI C by balagurusamy

+1 for ^^^
__________
join any C forum to learn good a single book never help...
like *cboard.cprogramming.com/

I found Programming in ANSI C by balagurusamy useful then that of Kanetkar's.

Balagurusamy. For e-books u can try esnips

Yes, Let Us C by Yashwant Kanetkar is good for beginners.
For advanced programming, Object Oriented Programming in Turbo C++ by Robert Lafore is good.
For free e-books, google search can help u.

Why don't u share with us???

I wud say start with Let us C by Yashwant Kanetkar.
It will clear ur basics pretty fairly and then u wont need any books, u will start to master it.
to know the strength of c, u can even read c projects by yashwant kanetkar.

I dont think these books are legally available for downloads. But they are pretty cheap. 180/- for Let Us C and 350/- for C Projects.
There is a cheaper version of C Projects which comes without a disk

+1 to yashwant kanitkar..

+1 to Yashwant Kanetkar and also to Balagurusamy...

but i found the latter much better...

Let us c ll help if u dont know nything abt c.. Once u grasp the basics u can learn c++ 4m balagurusamy

let him learn C first then C++... dude first scan all pages of Kanitkar if u r a newbie then it will take you 20 to 30 days...

Then try ur brain on "Test Ur C Skills" and "C under Dos test" if u come out successfully with it having enough confidence then go to some "C" forum solve some issues there....

Then move to C++...

Coz Strong Base is a must.... If ur C is strong then u can cramp C++ like a ground nut

Some of them might be pirated

May I suggest to you -

The C Programming Language

by Brian W. Kernighan And Dennis M. Ritchie

I've read many books for C, even Let us C and Programming in ANSI C by E Balagurusamy, but I couldn't find a book to match the The C Programming Language. And anyways, who can give you a better and more detailed explanation than the developer of the language himself? I suggest you go for the second edition.

*en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_(programming_language)

First Kanetkar, if you are a total newbie to programming.
then Balgursamy,
Third comes Robert Lafore.

Dennis Ritchie is a good book but only after reading the above three

The book by Dennis Ritchie is not for beginners.

the Best book with simple language and adapted well with gcc compilers.
C for Dummies-second edition by Dan Gookin.It is really a rocking book!simple enough...but EEE i dont know whether it is available..buy the second edition only.

For Theory Exam. Point of view go for
ANSI C by Balaguruswamy

For Practical C Practice

Let Us C By Yashwank Kanetker

For Aptitude

Test Your C Skills
Understanding Pointers in C
Exploring C
All by YPK

thanks a lot guys...
i will start with let us C by kanetkar as you have all said and then go to other books. looks likei will have to buy a new one coz in my college library all are old versions. then i wil study baleguruswamy...

Great decision, buddy.

dude ther s no need to go 4 balaguru... finish yashwant n if u understand the logic then jump onto c++

You can also do the same with balagurusamy. Its pretty easy and simple.. and rather very perfect..But, you will find lot of things which are usually not necessary in normal instances.. If you wanna learn fast... then go for Kanitkar.. or go for Balagurusamy.

LET US C by yashwant kanetkar... i hv read tht... i think its a gud book to start wid...
