The C Programming Language, 2nd Edition*

This book is meant to help the reader learn how to program in C. It is the definitive reference guide, now in a second edition. Although the first edition was written in 1978, it continues to be a worldwide best-seller. This second edition brings the classic original up to date to include the ANSI standard.

For evolution of the planet earth and our modern understanding of biology, there was Darwin's Origin of the Species. For mathematics, there was Newton's Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica. Well, for the internet, for Facebook, for LinkedIn, Twitter, Instgram, Snapchat, WhatsApp, Pornhub and even the odious website for Justin Bieber would never have existed without Kernigan and Ritchie (more affectionately known as K&R)'s classic, The C Programming Language. What language was TCP/IP written in? C. What language inspired both C++ and Java (and the abominable C#)? C. What language are most libraries on most operating systems written in if not assembler? C. The book is the raging hard-on that spawned the last 50 some-odd years of quantum leaps in computer science and changed humanity forever? Am I exaggerating? Hardly. This book is highly readable (okay a bit dry but did you try reading Darwin or Newton? They are longer and dryer believe you me!). If you want to geek out on just one book then this is the one. RIP Ritchie and long live Kernigan!
