C Primer Plus - truly a great primer
Over the years, as I've flirted with the idea of really sitting down to learn C, I've looked at a variety of intro-to-C type books; I've even bought a couple - only to set them aside to collect dust. This book (C Primer Plus, 5th ed.) is, frankly, one of the best ...

Steven Prata's C++ Primer Plus is excellent and reusable
This book is the reason I decided to become a computer scientist. The deepness of information provided, the great examples, and particularly useful exercises were instrumental in getting past my fear of "coding". I still use the book from time to time to read over ...

Mitchell Waite, Stephen Prata

Sams, 1993

What a book! Awesome!
This book was the best C book I've ever read. It starts with the basics and moves slow ahead... hard to understand sometimes, but that's C for you... goes on to explain unions, structures, and advanced data representation. I recommend it

Best C book!
This book is simple enough for the beginning programmer and advanced enough to get you a very solid base in C. It is the best programming book I've read. I cant tell you how helpful it is. In my book all errors have been fixed and since I bought it a few months ago so ...

Artificial Life Playhouse: Evolution at Your Fingertips/Book and Disk

Stephen Prata

Waite Group Pr, 1993

I haven't read it yet, but...
if you're thinking about buying the book, you should know that it comes with a 5 1/4" disk. You won't be able to run the programs unless you have a reeeeeally old computer. I was disappointed.

The Waite Group's Unix System V Primer (The Waite Group)

Mitchell Waite, Stephen Prata, ...

Sams, 1992

A very useful, well written book
Although I have been using UNIX for years, and have half a shelf of O'Reilly UNIX books on various subjects, I still keep coming back to the Waite Group's UNIX V Primer. The reason being that although it is not a deep treatment of any UNIX subject, it gives you the ...
