One of the greatest non-free books, IMO, is 21st Century C and I cannot recommend it enough. http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920033677.do a3n

Working my way through it now, in my efforts to re-learn C. Besides the treatment of modern standard C, I like that it treats the C development and distribution environment as a first class subject. mmckelvy

This looks like a great resource. Interesting that the author says this book is partly for "application devs". As a JavaScript dev, learning C has always had a certain appeal. However, anytime I start to dive in, there's this nagging voice in the back of my head telling me that I'm wasting my time as I will never use what I'm learning. To any devs coming from higher level languages, have you found learning C useful in any practical sense? Or has your exploration of C been more "for fun"? satysin

Yeah I really liked 21st Century C as well. Just a FYI for anyone looking to get it - make sure you get the latest edition (currently 2nd edition) as the first had a lot of issues which they fixed in the 2nd edition thanks to good feedback. lossolo
