how many of you are C programmers who switched to q? ( We know Arthur uses C ;-)?
To cut it short, what C books do q programmers read?

Personally speaking, I alwaysthought “The C Programming Language” by Kernighan and Ritchie wasexcellent. Knuth’s “The Art of Computer Programming” also belongs onthe bookshelf of any serious coder.</k4m…>

it depends on what you need c for. k & r to start, of course; after
that, _The Unix Programming Environment_ and _The Art of Unix
Programming_, if you’re interested in general unix work in c. if you’re
interested in something specific (a library, a windowing environment,
etc.) o’reilly probably have a good reference book.
knuth is of course the definitive text on programming in general
personally, i came to q from an education in java and work experience
primarily in java and c#. the most advanced C i’ve done professionally
has been while working on q extensions, and for that all you need is
k.h, c.htm, and lots of caffeine :)
