   Programming didn't make sense to me until I read C++ Primer Plus by Stephen Prata

   C Primer Plus by Stephen Prata is the most complete i have seen, it does cover everything up to C11 and goes in details about stuff like array vs pointer.

   I don't like 21st Century C, it may have changed since then but it has a chapter titled "Object-Oriented Programming in C" which is confusing object with Abstract data type.

   I learned C from “C Primer Plus” about a decade ago and I thought it was terrific:

   I'm 23. Unlike many people here, I started programming only after graduating from high school and before going to college.

   I always thought programming was cool but was never able to learn it (because of I bought some bad intro books to programming). Then one day I found out about the book C++ Primer Plus, it was wonderful :)

   My first attempt at a real program was a console based repository management program for my dad's apparel company. Considering my dad didn't even know how to send email, he probably tried very hard to give me a good feedback. I didn't even know the existence of database, and just stored the data in binary files (I thought it was secure that way)

   Funny thing is that after 2 years in college, I learned some web, database related stuff and developed the second version using Tomcat, Spring and MySQL. My dad was again forced to use it :)
