C in Plain English is a reliable source of practical information on the C
language. The book teaches beginning and intermediate programmers the
components and syntax of the C language through practical exercises and
realistic examples. C in Plain English also covers the anatomy of C
programs, the languages strengths and weaknesses, and its unique features.

Review:
Even though I consider myself to be an okay programmer in Visual Basic, I
never got C/C++ until I read this book.

This is a great book to get started with C\C++. I have tried ZDU (Online
University) and with their 40$ book that makes hardly any sense to anyone
unless they have knowledge of object-oriented programming, and even with the
online help, I had trouble. I have bought 2 other books and still didn't
understand C until I started reading it in Plain English: Brian Overland's
C++ In Plain English.

He doesn't expect you to have and programming experiance and puts it in
terms that even I can understand. He often makes referance to Visual Basic
and FORTRAN in this book to let you know the similarities (and differances)
between them.

Bottom line: If you want to understand C/C++ without searching for months
through book after book, buy this book.
