=46irst, the question was for C books, not C++. Second, Schildt's books
are awful. If you think you learned something from one, you might want
to verify it using a real book (for C++ Stroustrup's "The C++
Programming Language" is your best bet). Go to Google groups and
search comp.lang.c for people's opinions on Schildt's books. In
particular, watch for posts from the following people, who know more
about C than Schildt could ever hope to:
Richard Heathfield
Dan Pop
Ben Pfaff
Jack Klein
Chris Torek
This list is off the top of my head, and represents the most
knowledgable people (in no particular order) on the group based on my
experience there over the past several months.
