Summary: textbook-critic
Comment: This book first needs better binding glues since it comes apart after a few weeks of heavy usage. When I surveyed other students' textbooks their books suffered the same fate.
Some of the book's examples are difficult to follow along and the explanation usually follow several pages later.
Some of the problems deal with Casino card and dice gambling type problems that some religious students just aren't familiar with and the description in the problems assusme students know all the subtle "ins" and "outs." Also some of the problems take way too long to do.
The glossy paper also isn't necessary. Under typical flourescent lighting conditions, it glares too much, thus reducing book's usage.
At HVCC college CIS department one instructor is actually using another textbook since he too feels strongly that this Deitel book isn't suitable to learn C that easily.

Summary: Chalked full of great information.
Comment: (I have the third edition.)
This book was required for a C programming class. It chalked full of great information. I learned a lot from this book and the instructor.
4 stars instead of 5 because of the way the way the book is organized. Better organization could have been implimented. There are too many "Good Programming Practicees" and "Common Programming Error" boxes to clutter up the pages. Perhaps some Chicago style referencing and a section at the end of the chapter would help clean up the regular text. --- Also some of the subjects used for the codeing examples, and some of the coding examples themselves should be simpler. In other words the code examples tended to be difficult to follow at times.
Overall the book is keeper. (That and because it has just been succeded by a a new edition and is no longer resellable for nearly what I paid for it. (This is the third edition.))
This book is very usable even as an older edition.
