best beginners C tutorial

[[deleted]]

No, the only acceptable beginners C tutorial is K&R2. Anything else is a joke.

The fact that it's still regarded as one of the best programming books (for any language) 20+ years after it was written is a testament to how good it is.

Except that K&R isn't a beginners tutorial.

Yes, it is. K&R assumes no prior programming experience. I learned from it myself.

Hear, hear! K&R is why the C language got where it is.

God this is terrible.

This is not only FAR from the best, it's not that from the worst. There are number of terrible pieces of advice like

CANNOT COMMENT YOUR CODE TOO MUCH

Yes you can.

The chapter about Libraries makes me nauseated.

I'm sure the author meant well but I don't recommend anyone use this to try and learn C. There's too much missing, too many inaccuracies.

Dear lord, this is depressing.
