Advance Praise for Head First C

“ Head First C could quite possibly turn out to be the best C book of all time. I don’t say that lightly. I could

easily see this become the standard C textbook for every college C course. Most books on programming

follow a fairly predictable course through keywords, control-flow constructs, syntax, operators, data types,

subroutines, etc. These can serve as a useful reference, as well as a fairly academic introduction to the

language. This book, on the other hand, takes a totally different approach. It teaches you how to be a

real C programmer. I wish I had had this book 15 years ago!”

— Dave Kitabjian, Director of Software Development, NetCarrier Telecom

“ Head First C is an accessible, light-hearted introduction to C programming, in the classic Head First style.

Pictures, jokes, exercises, and labs take the reader gently but steadily through the fundamentals of C—

including arrays, pointers, structs, and functions—before moving into more advanced topics in Posix and

Linux system programming, such as processes and threads.”

— Vince Milner, software developer

Praise for other Head First books

“Kathy and Bert’s Head First Java transforms the printed page into the closest thing to a GUI you’ve ever

seen. In a wry, hip manner, the authors make learning Java an engaging ‘what’re they gonna do next?’

experience.”

—Warren Keuffel, Software Development Magazine

“Beyond the engaging style that drags you forward from know-nothing into exalted Java warrior status,

Head First Java covers a huge amount of practical matters that other texts leave as the dreaded ‘exercise

for the reader…’ It’s clever, wry, hip, and practical—there aren’t a lot of textbooks that can make that claim

and live up to it while also teaching you about object serialization and network launch protocols. ”

— Dr. Dan Russell, Director of User Sciences and Experience Research,

IBM Almaden Research Center;

artiicial intelligence instructor, Stanford University

“It’s fast, irreverent, fun, and engaging. Be careful—you might actually learn something!”

— Ken Arnold, former Senior Engineer at Sun Microsystems;

coauthor (with James Gosling, creator of Java),

The Java Programming Language

“I feel like a thousand pounds of books have just been lifted off of my head.”

— Ward Cunningham, inventor of the Wiki and founder of the Hillside Group

“Just the right tone for the geeked-out, casual-cool guru coder in all of us. The right reference for

practical development strategies—gets my brain going without having to slog through a bunch of

tired, stale professor-speak.”

— Travis Kalanick, founder of Scour and Red Swoosh;

member of the MIT TR100

“There are books you buy, books you keep, books you keep on your desk, and thanks to O’Reilly and the

Head First crew, there is the penultimate category, Head First books. They’re the ones that are dog-eared,

mangled, and carried everywhere. Head First SQL is at the top of my stack. Heck, even the PDF I have

for review is tattered and torn.”

— Bill Sawyer, ATG Curriculum Manager, Oracle

“This book’s admirable clarity, humor, and substantial doses of clever make it the sort of book that helps

even nonprogrammers think well about problem solving.”

— Cory Doctorow, coeditor of Boing Boing;

author, Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom

and Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town

Praise for other Head First books

“I received the book yesterday and started to read it…and I couldn’t stop. This is definitely très ‘cool.’ It

is fun, but they cover a lot of ground, and they are right to the point. I’m really impressed.”

— Erich Gamma, IBM Distinguished Engineer and coauthor of Design Patterns

“One of the funniest and smartest books on software design I’ve ever read.”

— Aaron LaBerge, VP Technology, ESPN.com

“What used to be a long trial-and-error learning process has now been reduced neatly into an engaging

paperback.”

— Mike Davidson, CEO, Newsvine, Inc.

“Elegant design is at the core of every chapter here, each concept conveyed with equal doses of

pragmatism and wit.”

— Ken Goldstein, Executive Vice President, Disney Online

“I ♥ Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML —it teaches you everything you need to learn in a ‘fun coated’

format.”

— Sally Applin, UI designer and artist

“Usually when reading through a book or article on design patterns, I’d have to occasionally stick myself

in the eye with something just to make sure I was paying attention. Not with this book. Odd as it may

sound, this book makes learning about design patterns fun.

“While other books on design patterns are saying ‘Bueller…Bueller…Bueller…,’ this book is on the float

belting out ‘Shake it up, baby!’”

— Eric Wuehler

“I literally love this book. In fact, I kissed this book in front of my wife.”

— Satish Kumar
