The programmer's bible!
As a tech lover, searching to know more about computers I wanted to learn a powerful, but relatively easy programming language. I chose C. Then I searched for a book on the net. This one was the book with more references and people were saying it was the best. After reading it, I can only say one thing: This book is AMAZING! You learn things quickly (starting with easy things and scaling to awesome tricks) and become able to create almost anything with it. If you don't know, Windows, Linux and many applications are at least partly programmed with C. If think they didn't choose it without thinking well before, so... But if you really want to know better what I mean, just buy the book and see for yourself.
