I recently bought Borland's Turbo C 2.0 upon reccommendation from
the Psych Dept's programmer, who claimed C was the best computer
language in the world. A convinced consumer, I went out and got this
package right away. It really is impressive. Here's the catch: I
don't know anything about C and this is not the most user-friendly
language I've ever seen. What I need is a good intro book to C
programming and I don't know what's good and what's not. I'd
appreciate any suggestions (hint: NOT Kernighan & Ritchie, please)
as to what I should look into. Incidently, I am not familiar with
structured programming (e.g., PASCAL) either. My goal is to
learn C to a moderate degree of proficiency by simply reading a
book or two and hacking away.
Please send suggestions to:

Thanks in advance,
Drew Betz
