Synopsis

This elementary level text on C targets first-time programmers and implements a subset approach, acknowledging that C encompasses much material and many pitfalls. This unusual text uses "experiments" to guide students to discover things for themselves and directs students in learning many of the subleties and intricacies of C through hands-on examples. The author's inviting writing style is especially appealing to novice programmers. C for Yourself is suitable as a supplement in an elementary computer science course for computer science majors as well as a course for non-majors or a community college C course.

Review

'Assuming no prior programming experience, the author presents a subset of C powerful enough for solving nontrivial programming problems, yet simple enough so that a novice can steer clear of the pitfalls. Computer experiments serve to clarify presented concepts and guide readers into making discoveries on their own.Zentrallblatt fur Didaktik der Mathematik
