Reddit reviews C Programming Absolute Beginner's Guide

Start with finishing this whole book. Start to finish. It is so amazingly helpful: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00EANJ09U/ref=pd_aw_sbs_351_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=ZHNDKD9899ZNDSAXDA4V. Even if you aren't an absolute beginner. Then, once you are done with that, read + complete the exercises for this book: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0321776410/ref=pd_aw_fbt_14_img_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=78FY6PWRFXNDM0DQ2DGW you will literally look back at this post, and laugh at how much more you know after reading these books.

If you know of a better way or have anything to add to my game plan let me know!

C Syntax is a real PITA especially if you haven't had prior experience.
