Head First C (Paperback) Price: Rs.369

Ever wished you could learn C from a book? Head First C provides a complete learning experience for C and structured imperative programming. With a unique method that goes beyond syntax and how-to manuals, this guide not only teaches you the language, it helps you understand how to be a great programmer. You'll learn key areas such as language basics, pointers and pointer arithmetic, and dynamic memory management. Advanced topics include multi-threading and network programming topics typically covered on a college-level course.

This book also features labs: in-depth projects intended to stretch your abilities, test your new skills, and build confidence. Head First C mimics the style of college-level C courses, making it ideal as an accessible textbook for students.

We think your time is too valuable to waste struggling with new concepts. Using the latest research in cognitive science and learning theory to craft a multi-sensory learning experience, Head First C uses a visually rich format designed for the way your brain works, not a text-heavy approach that puts you to sleep.

Good Book

This is my fourth book in the Head First series... I know what to refer to when it comes to learning programming. This book is so up to date that it even contains a bit of Arduino in it... I know a few programming languages and I decided to learn the mother of it all C. I wanted something I can trust to teach me it well. I doubt if I will ever find a better learning experience than Head First.

There are certain things that are not covered in this book... which by no means is any reason why anyone should even have double thoughts about this book... its what one calls a learning experience not a reference book so its all right.

Creative and interesting.

This is one of those books which are creative and interesting , unlike other books which go through topics in hurry and in most confusing manner. This book is different from other books in the way it presents the contents. In simple words its Fun book for learning C language. This book does not have colored pages as its economy version.

As usual flipkart delivery was on time and in perfect condition.
