C Programming Language

Hey Guys,

Doug Turner talked briefly about "C Programming Language" book in the Fundamentals of C video.

Has anyone read it? Would you recommend it?

I'm new to developing and would love to learn a lot more about developing apps but am worried it may be to too technical, unlike the step by step process treehouse takes.

Thanks,

Joe

I have tried several (paid) tutorials, books and websites. A friend told me about TreeHouse and I was very suspicious in the beginning. But later realized that these guys has made a very good job and I'm literally impressed!

So my advice would be to practice 1-3 hours a day to get a fine result.

Hi Joe,

I would like to recommend „Objective-C Programming: The Big Nerd Ranch Guide“ from Aaron Hillegass and Mikey Ward. It is very well written, not too technical and kind of a basis for understanding Objective C (The Objective-C programming language is based on C and adds support for object-oriented programming).

I'm reading two books Programming in objective-C 4th edition & and Objective-C for absolute beginners and also using tree house it helps a lot to use both if you can.

I second the Big Nerd Ranch iOS Programming book and Objective C book. You can find them on Amazon hard and soft back as well as on Kindle and iBooks.
