I did see a history of c somewhere, but can't remember it came from.

Hi,
As for books, one place is Bookshare (you need to live in United
States to get it) and other free books from Google.
As Tyler said, try using Eclipse (there should be some
documentation on Google).
Personally, I would rather let you learn CPP instead of C mostly
because of compatibility, syntax and availibility. If you are a
student, I'd say it's better to learn computer science with this
language, since it provides some foundation from where you can
learn more about different styles of programming, how to write
complex programs using simple way of writing things and so forth.
Here's an important question: are you being self-taught (learning
by yourself) or do you plan to learn programming in college or
other schools? If you are self-taught, then we (the programmers)
could walk you step-by-step and get you started (when you are
ready, that is). If you are learning this from school, then we
could help you reenforce
what you've learn by giving you some resources for you to look
at, as well as answer questions for you (not schoolwork, that
is).
Once you get an IDE or a book, then we could start by going over
what C or CPP really is (like a historical survey and how this
language is used) before moving onto the C version of "Hello
World."
Cheers,
Joseph

Hi Joseph,
Could you show me where I can find these books, And the
userguides of
Eclipse and Borland?
I really don't know a lot about these.
Thank you very much,
Giang

Hi Jiang,
Nice to see you - and welcome to the list.
as for C, the best books I read (and heard) were "The C
Programming
Language" by kernighan and Ritchie (the programmers who created
C),
"Structured Programming" (or the equivalent title) and Designing
Algorithms in C. Personally, I recommend C++ or slightly modern
ones,
as C++ builds on top of C (slightly different syntax and way of
writing things, but shares useful concepts).
As for IDE (Integrated Development Environment), for beginners,
I
recommend writing your code in a text editor such as Notepad and
using
a command line compiler such as Borland compiler. If you want a
free
IDE, the best one the programmers on this list use are Eclipse
and
Visual Studio Express (could you tell us under which OS you'll
write
your programs in?).
Just for sake of intro: could you tell us more about yourself
like how
you heard about this list, how did you get into programming (a
student, a programmer learning a new language, etc.) and what do
you
wish to learn? That way, those who have your experience can
understand
your situation and help you better.
Cheers,
Joseph

Hi every one,
I'm Giang, a new member. I'm beginning to learn C programming.
But now, I
don't know which book is good for me and which IDE is work well
with
jaws.
Can you give me some choice?
Thanks in advance
