Customer Reviews

Very good Book for COBOL programmers to learn C

Very simple English representations and very easy to understand , when you already know COBOL. Comparisons with COBOL and C - chapters are very good. Repetions inside this book is very usefull and this will always give you a good feeling.Also you can refresh your COBOL knowhow with this Book.I am really happy to get this book. Elbin Abey.

Good Reference

I found most C training books frustrating because I had too many questions, questions about file structure, storage, and definitions. This book explained the answers in a language I could understand, Cobol. I would not use this book as the sole teacher of the C language but it sure relieved many of the frustrations I had in the beginning. Gearing's approach was almost the complete opposite of every other C book and I think I needed both approaches to obtain the desired result, learning C.
