Confession: Although I do know how to program in C, I did not learn from K&R like a proper geek.  This was my text, written by one of my favorite professors at Stanford, Eric Roberts. This book was my intro to C… it was mine, so I feel strong “endowment effect” and will defend it, but the passing of DMR and resulting outpouring of love for K&R makes me realize I’m probably missing out. Oh, FOMO.

  1. gbattle said: trust me, you did. there is an elegance in K&R and it is probably the most succinct programming tome out there. it embodies both clarity an economy, two of the more admirable qualities of great writing, let along great coding.
