As you can guess from the title, this book is set up so that you can teach yourself the C programming language in 21 days. Despite stiff competition from languages such as C++, Java, and C#, C remains the language of choice for people who are just learning programming. For reasons we detail on Day 1, you can’t go wrong in selecting C as your programming language. We think you’ve made a wise decision selecting this book as your means of learning C. Although there are many books on C, we believe this book presents C in the most logical and easy-to-learn sequence. The fact that the five previous editions have been on bestseller lists indicates that readers agree with us! We designed this book for you to work through the chapters in order on a daily basis. We don’t assume any previous programming experience on your part, although experience with another language, such as BASIC, might help you learn faster. We also make no assumptions about your computer or compiler; this book concentrates on teaching the C language, regardless of whether you’re using a PC, a Mac, or a UNIX system. As an added bonus, we have included seven extra days in this book. The added bonus days provide you with a primer on object-oriented programming and an introduction to the most popular object-oriented languages, C++, Java and C#. Although these extra chapters won’t teach you everything about these topics, they will get you started.
