avoid at all cost, even if your college prescribes it!

I don't understand why this book is so hugely popular! Its highly harmful if you want to sustain a career in IT.
This is a typical example of how you should never write code.
It teaches bad programming style...doesn't care about standards and is full of toy examples that do no good when you sit for serious coding.
My suggestion (and also suggested by many reputed coders): go for a book called "C programming - a modern approach" by K. N. King (2nd ed.) and when you have grasped the basics and want to delve in deeper, go for the ultimate: "The C programming Language" by Kernighan and Ritchie.
The first book is probably not available as a local print(flipkart has an imported edition, i guess) but you can always get an ebook from... you know where! The second is a classic and is off-course available. Its also pretty cheap here at flipkart (~120 bucks).

There's nothing more harmful than bad learning. So, there...

Happy learning and happy coding!

first to review
good book to begin for beginners!!

This book explains the language of C going into the very details of everything...It's a nice book for someone who is new to the language and is starting his journey into the big C world..Not for the programmers though!!

This book will ruin your understanding, not recommended at all

This book is followed by most of the engineering students (specially big hit in non-premier colleges) in our country. The reasons may be many: written by an IITian, having lots of code samples (most even dont compile on various compilers) etc etc. But I have found this book really a joke!!

Author (and may be your seniors too) may try to convince you that there is nothing beyond this book in this ocean of C but trust me, this book will ruin your career. You will realize that when you will come to professional development in C. This book does not give a damn to best practices to be followed, writing code that will run on all compilers, things to avoid etc.

I personally feel that there are thousand other better books then why to blindly chase it, just because many other idiots are following it. I could have given it a zero star for spoiling the career of many but had to go with one.

IT'S AN EXCELLENT BOOK FOR LEARNERS

This book is more helpful for beginners of c-programming because it has more simple simple examples after reading of this book only i got clear knowledge on c-language it's true. After reading this book you can read any book you can easily understand the concept. Please kindly don't think that this book is complete reference for c-language it's only for introduction purpose, and also don't think by completing this book you are the master or programmer you have to need more practice to get grip on this language.My opinion is this is excellent book for BEGINNERS ONLY.
