I'm 15% of the way through the book (roughly 100 pages) and I'm going to have to say 'No!' The examples are inconsistent and sometimes to vague to follow. There is a discussion of pointers versus array variables but the text is unclear which of the previous 3 code snippets it's referring to (all contain versions of the "card" array and/or pointer page - 75). There is also an extended discussion of the *card pointer but two pages later it's referred to as the card* pointer (page 74). There are not the same. There have been too many instances of this so far in just the first 100 pages. At first I thought, oh, I'm getting older, I'm a slow learner now.... but nope. It's just not well presented. Great concept for the book but I had hoped since it's a 2nd edition it would be well polished, but that hasn't been what I've found. Cute, but not great on execution.

The C Programming Language by Kernighan & Ritchie is my personal favorite book on C .. But beginning Computer Programmers should love this book too .. o The authors are both mathematicians o They write well o They describe some of the deep connections between C and Unix o They seem to know a lot about C o The target audience is beginners o And the pictures and diagrams are fun, and unusual, for a computer language book
Decent book, Mine didn't come in color even though the preview shows it that way... Not getting what you expected is always a drag.
There are some parts of the book I can't even read due to the text being printed too lightly. this would have been a good book if it was in color (as it is advertised) which also bring up the legality of amazon essentially bating and switching on their website...
I am a returning adult college student currently studying Computer Science. Having taken 2 courses in each of the following languages; Java, C# and Visual Basic. I must say that the learning style in this book is head and shoulders above the standard language textbooks. I am not saying that I didn't learn anything from the standard textbooks, but the learning curve at times was pretty steep. In addition to that, reading Java (my main language of choice) API documentation sometimes feels like I am speaking another language compared to what is used in the documentation. I think this is because the standard 900 page language textbook, while full of great information, is often dull as corn flakes, and hard to read line by line. So I ended up missing a lot of key terminology. This book, while overly corny at some points, keeps you locked into the content. It is actually really hard to put this book down at times, even though the authors suggest that you take the chapters slow, so the information has time to sink in. I will be looking for more head first titles on other subjects in the future.

I usually don't write reviews, but I feel compelled to on this order. I just received it, while flipping through the pages, I noticed some of the text is so light! (The book is in black and not colored)
I haven't read the book yet, so I am not commenting on the books content but how it's being displayed to you. I feel this will be a distraction on retaining the material if I am struggling to even read it.
I am writing this here for future reference for someone who is about to buy this book, to be warned. If light text isn't a problem for you then buy the book, but if you are easily distracted and annoyed by little variances then this PRINT of the book isn't for you.
