Recommended books for beginning learning C

Well yes and no...

One person I know had a friend who is proficient with PC based C programming write some code for him. It worked, just fine - but the code was slow and big. On a PC it would not have even been noticeable, but here, it was a little different. A few little tweaks decreased codesize and processing time, but it is evidence that, although C is C is C.... SDCC for PICs is a different story to GCC for PC. As fluke wisely said, sometimes it is better to start out on PC and move on from there... YMMV ;)

I've also just scored a copy of Algorithm Development And Program Design Using C by Gary J. Bronson, which I hear is one of the good ones.  It apparently teaches you about designing and building your program from first concept to completion, rather than just code.  Again, I'll post a review when I get more into it.

I really liked "The C Book" which is online and in english

I've downloaded an electronic verion of "The C book" it appears to be aimed at people wih programming experience though, any suggestions for absolute beginners books?

Klaus Schmaranz - Softwareentwicklung in C -Springer

...what is really great and understandable written. It covers the C language,but not all aspects.

Jörg Wiegelmann - Softwareentwicklung in C für Mikroprozessoren und Microcontroller - Hüthig

...what I'am at the moment reading,till now it seems good...like the name says its pointing more towards Softwaredeveloping in C for Microcontrollers.The C Language part is short but interesting,because it is for microcontrollers.It is expensive 39,90€ !!!

I got it from the Public Library.

Kyle Loudon - Algorithmen in C - O`Reilly

...its a Translation from german into english.There has to be a english version too ::).
