- I learnt C from _C by Example_... I can't remember the author, but it's a
- member of a common series. IMO, it's the perfect example of how to teach
- a language; it describes what a particular construct does, how it works,
- the syntax, and then gives an example. And another example. And another.
- And another. The resulting book will give you working examples of just
- about every commonly-used construct, which provides a very useful
- reference to the novice programmer.
