Is Sams Teach Yourself C in 24 Hours a good book to learn C ?

Well if you already know programming in other languages then it can help you learn the syntaxes used in c. But even then it needs a lot of effort from your part cause c is a middle level language it has lot of features but just to learn basics any fast learning book should be sufficient ,this can help you only to write some exams not become a programmer you need to create programs in C in thetem and learn this will help you to learn both the syntaxes and ideas about programming . It is not an emergency better take the longer course anyway for a person who already knows other programming language a fast learning course is sufficient


Do concentrate on these


Basic Input Output Operations


Datatypes


Functions


Structures


Pointers


File Handling


Error Handling
