C by Dissection

the long version

C by Dissection is a textbook for teaching C to new programmers. One unique feature of this book is how it "dissects" an example program to explain how each part works. The book also includes end-of-chapter exercises to give students a chance to practice what they've learned, but solutions are not provided. As this book is primarily written to teach C, experienced C programmers looking for a reference may be better served by a different book than this one.
