I think C is an excellent place to begin. But try K & R (ISBN-10 0131103628) which is the classic introduction. Schildt is reviled in the church of C. See http://accu.org/index.php?module=bookreviews&func=search&rid=608 where he is roundly rebuked. He doesn't do well in any of the numerous reviews of his books on the ACCU site. He's even got an entry in the comp.lang.c FAQ: Q: I need a random number generator. A: Count errors in Herbert Schildt's C books. No one has detected any consistent pattern. -- Charles Polisher _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
