I have a plan to get into some programming in future and C is one of the considerations and it’s very important language so I would like to ask if anyone programmer is in this community to suggest me some resources? I prefer video based courses but it sounds like books are very detailed sources of information then suggest what you know best.
Note: I know this isn’t a professional community for the subject but I know for good quality resources I have to pirate some shit so I asked the question here because the members probably have their resources from piracy so they can help me more; sorry for expecting too much from y’all but career is career.
Imo the most legit thing to do is to read an old copy of “the c programming language” which is a guide written by the authors of C. The early editions were under 100 pages, super clear to understand, and you’ll feel connected with the mentality of the creators. C is a simple and elegant language, much less complex than most modern ones
Why the old copy? They screwed the book in new publishes?
It’s just like 4x longer for no real reason. The language just isn’t that hard, and I feel like they were cashing in on publishing a million new editions. C hasn’t changed much
Also, random plug for Go, which feels about as simple as C but tackles modern problems better (concurrency, amazing garbage collection, servers, world class tooling). Any C developer will feel comfortable with Go super quickly
I’d say it’s best to read the ANSI C version, not the original K&R.
