[trashthing]

hi. i already have the books 'The C Programming Language.' i'm looking for a second C book. what do you recommend?

[ricstr]

It depends what you want from the book? But for beginer - intermediate stuff on the language I liked this book.

C: The Complete Reference - 4th Edition, Herbert Schildt.

i was looking at that book. how is the book, 'C Primer Plus.'

[grady]

If you already know C then the "linux programming bible" book shows you how to do things like shared memory and TCP/IP.

This book is awesome. Try to find it at your school library if you have access to one. It is the best book for when you have learned most of the C basics.

trashthing: I think you are making the correct choice of book there.

If you want another book, Advanced UNIX Programming, Warren W.Gay pub. by SAMS is good and gives advice for various 'nix, not just Linux which is good if you want to be a bit more portable. Don't be put off by the title, IMO it is not a difficult read.
