C is the best place to start programming, and Dan Gookin's here to lead the way!

Behold the foundation of almost every programming language: the venerable C. Learn this one, and the others will come easily -- plus, you can start telling computers, tablets, and other gizmos what to do. Dan Gookin walks you through the process in his characteristic way, with simple instructions, demonstrations, examples, and exercises -- and a dash of fun.

• Building blocks -- start right out with the Code:: Blocks IDE and learn the basics of creating, building, and running a project
• Conquer the concepts -- see what to do with values, constants, variables, functions, input/output devices, and loops
• Arrays of possibilities -- understand arrays, string functions, and structures and how to use the command prompt
• A pointer's not a dog -- find out how the often-misunderstood pointer can add power to your programs
• Bug out -- debug your code, master file management, and create large projects using multiple source code modules
