Hello, I'll be teaching "Programming in C" for this Fall. Most students, who will take this class, would have pascal background (prerequisite). So far, I have used "The C programming Lang" by K&R and "Intro to Programming in C (A Book on C) by Kelley and Pohl. Now, I'd like to update my teaching materials. Any suggestions on books, related materials to the class are very appreciated... -- Regards, ******************************************************************************* Chokchai Leangsuksun | / | Graduate Assistant | /--| O/ | Department of Mathematics and Computer Science |<__ / ____ / | Kent State University | | O| | | | O| | |O | | Kent Ohio 44242 | | | | | O | | | |-- | | e-mail: chokchai@mcs.kent.edu (internet) | |O |_| |/ | |_| |___| | *******************************************************************************
