I am not sure but it is not C. Someone at work suggested it would be C--. That might be a better title for the book. It might be OK for a very very very beginner but it would probably leave even them hungry. In all fairness it does have 2/3 of one page on pointers. The classic K&R book on the C language by the people that invented it spends about 20% of the book on pointers. This book mostly skips structures also with a mere 1.5 pages on them. If you combined pointers and structures probably 1/3 of K&R is on them. I really like the Dummies series. They have a unique feature that is missing in most computer books. You can read them and not fall asleep before the end of one page. I recommend you skip this book and get "C All-in-One Desk Reference for Dummies". Also, (not recommended for beginners) the classic "The C Programming Language" by Kerningham and Ritche, 1988, is still in print and surprisingly readable.   1     2     3   Non User
