In light of the fact that best practices have evolved considerably since K&R, what book(s) would you recommend for people wanting to learn C today?


Modern C by Jens Gustedt: http://icube-icps.unistra.fr/img_auth.php/d/db/ModernC.pdf

It's not exactly 100% complete in the literal sense, but everything covering the language spec and usage is there. I highly suggest working through it, as the book itself is incredible for going from beginner to expert in the short span it does.


Thank you very much for the link and suggestion! Much appreciated!


I asked on Twitter, and got several recommendations https://twitter.com/hyperpape/status/685476672393605120.


Very nice! Thanks for your help!


21st Century C (published by O'Reilly) was recommended by myself and one other elsewhere in this thread.
