Hello there, being a newbie to C and the forum, I've been reading these post
and have another suggestion for you.
I am currently on my 2nd year Meng and learning the dreaded C/C++.
I have some of the books noted and all have been very useful, but here is
another suggestion that I came across last year, it comes in the from of
training videos from http://www.vtc.com/uk.php
The C programming vids are extremely useful, don't rate the C++ though.
With full working programs and exercises as well as a course project to work
through it has helped me out when stuck.
Only problem is the price!!!!
