The first edition of C Programming: A Modern Approach was popular with
students and faculty alike because of its clarity and comprehensiveness
as well as its trademark Q&A sections.
Professor King's spiral approach made it accessible to a broad range of
readers, from beginners to more advanced students. With adoptions at
over 225 colleges, the first edition was one of the leading C textbooks
of the last ten years. The second edition maintains all the book's
popular features and brings it up to date with coverage of the C99
standard. The new edition also adds a significant number of exercises
and longer programming projects, and includes extensive revisions and
updates.
