What is a good way to lear C programing language?

Question

I am new at programing as a whole and I want to lear C as fast as possible so I can begin Programing. Does anyone know any good book that can explain it step by step so someone who is 14 years old can understand it.

Answer 1

you should learn about the basics of the operating system. So get a book on the operating system you will do it on. Then you will need to learn about basic programming so buy a book for that. Then learn about BASIC so buy another book for that. Then finally you can buy a book for C and learn about that. Also don't forget about C# and C++ for visuals.

If you want to be hardcore then get the book
