Practical C Programming, by Steve Oualline, is acceptable as a technical book commenting on how to code in C. While it is not on par with other books in its field, it is still a worthy read for those interested in learning C, as it contains many examples. I would not recommend it, as there are better books out there. Overall, it is a very average book, not worthy of great applause yet not deserving any trashing.
