Best Beginner Programming Book?
So I'm an absolute beginner and have decided to really learn to program like I have been wanting to for a while. I have decided to start with C so I can work my way up to objective-c, and c++, eventually I would like to be able to develop iphone apps with objective-c but I realize that is a far way off. I know some basic html and javascript but I realize this is for web development and probably not helpful in the context of learning C, but I thought I should at least mention it. I have been searching online but I hate to just read bits and pieces all over the place and would like to just go out and buy a book that will have everything I need! Any suggestions? Like I said I'm an absolute beginner so I need one that will explain things simply and not assume I'm already fluent in other programming languages. Any suggestions would be helpful, Thanks!
Books are annoying they don't teach you anything apart from the same old same old annoying BS i would save up and buy some video tutorials or buy a pass to some where like http://www.lynda.com/ at least they will teach you online in video tutorial and you can watch the videos as many times as you like.instead of picking up a book and getting sick of it
"ANSI C" by Balagurusamy is better one to beginners. It is BCA first semester textbook in many universities in India. It will be better because it cover all basics of programming language. Highly explained every snippets & also you have many exercises to improve your skills.

Starting with a structured programming language like C is a great choice to start with especially it will make learning other programming languages easier. You may start with " C How to Program Sixth Edition" for PAUL DEITEL & HARVEY DEITEL. You may find it online and free to download, I've heard that the 7th edition is out. You may buy it also from any library for about 50$ or depends where you are located.
It's the best book/e-book you may find for programming with a lot of examples and exercises.
Master C programming first, then you may start with OOP - Object Oriented Programming - like Java, Objective-C or whatever you like.
No one book will supply everything you need. Most of programming is understanding how to write algorithms. Writing algorithms is not a programming language specific thing. You need to understand data structures too.
There's a new Head First book about C that would probably be very good. Some of the other Head First books that I have seen are great for beginners.
"C By Dissection" is used for college courses.
You can learn C programming in an easy way on programs-way.
It is a very good site for beginners. It is essential to clear your concept.
This site will help you to grow your concept.
