for books go to the books section....<br />
<br />
If you want to download a free compiler to test your programs go to the Borland section and download TC++ from there... Hope this helps...<br />

i forgot to mention the writers : Bradley Jones, Peter G. Aitken<br />
(i'm not sure that the book comes with a compiler.)<br />

I'm looking for a book that introduces C. &nbsp;I need it to be technical yet easy to understand. &nbsp;I'm very familiar with computers and have done some programming, but abandoned it due to time constraints. &nbsp;In the meantime, I've forgotten most of what I learned. &nbsp;It would be best if the book came with a C compiler. &nbsp;I was considering the following titles but am open to any new suggestions:<br />

A book that teaches C

C is a general-purpose, imperative computer programming language, supporting structured programming, lexical variable scope and recursion, while a static type system prevents many unintended operations. By design, C provides constructs that map efficiently to typical machine instructions, so it has found lasting use in applications that had formerly been coded in assembly language, including operating systems as well as various application software for computers ranging from supercomputers to embedded systems. It is distinct from C++ (which has its roots in C) and C#, and many later languages have borrowed directly or indirectly from C.
