I learnt C from _C by Example_... I can't remember the author, but it's a
member of a common series. IMO, it's the perfect example of how to teach
a language; it describes what a particular construct does, how it works,
the syntax, and then gives an example. And another example. And another.
And another. The resulting book will give you working examples of just
about every commonly-used construct, which provides a very useful
reference to the novice programmer.
