Simply (currently not available)- Essentials of C, assumes no previous knowledge. The text has been revised to the current ANSI C standard. Beginner readers are advised to start on a subset of the complete language: this approach is taken here and, where appropriate, a 'Big Picture' section takes the reader to more advanced topics.

Straight from Trolltech, this book covers all you need to build industrial-strength applications with Qt 3.2.x and C++--applications that run natively on Windows, Linux/Unix, Mac OS X, and embedded Linux with no source code changes! The book teaches solid Qt programming practices; it is not a rehash of the documentation. You'll find start-to-finish coverage packed with examples, plus a CD with the Qt 3.2 toolset and Borland C++ compilers--including a non-commercial Qt 3.2 for Windows available nowhere else!

Online documentation on C/C++? This page contains some links to free electronic documentation, guides, s, references, Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs), books (ebooks) on C, C++ and the Standard Template Library (STL). The various free documentation often come either as browsable web based HTML documents, PDF files (which can be read using any of the freely available PDF viewers), or PS (PostScript) files. While some must be read online, others allow you to download a set to your computer for offline reading.

Note that not all of the online s are error-free, and many are incomplete. In general, if you need a reliable guide to C/C++ that has been peer-reviewed and edited, it is best to buy a good book on the language. Some frequently recommended books on C/C++ are listed on the Frequently Recommended Books on C/C++ page. Of course if you just want to take a look at what the language is like, these online guides allow you to take a free look without having to buy a book.
