Offline Tutorial

I am attempting to learn C on a computer that does not have internet
access. Can anyone find a C tutorial that can be completely
downloaded? I wish to transfer it from a computer that can get online
to my computer. (The one that can not get on the internet.) I don't
need an absolute beginner tutorial, as I have used Python before.

Thanks!

I'm no C expert, but anyway...

Try and see if this suites your taste:
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/C_Progr.../Print_version

Plus, if you're going with windows, you may want to try Dev CPP:
http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html
I think they have some offline documentation as well as some CD image,
but I haven't tried them.

There is a most excellent tutorial called _The C Programming
Language_. You may "download" it from your nearest bookstore; it's in
a strange archival format known as a "book."

You can download
o A C Tutorial
o A C Compiler
o A development environment

at no cost from

http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~lcc-win32

The tutorial builds from ground up, the compiler is simple and easy
to use. It comes with an IDE with project management, makefile
generation, browse information generation and many other goodies.

Included is also a graphical debugger, and a ressource editor.

The best recommendation I can give is not available for download, and
that is Kernighan and Ritchie, The C Programming Language, Second
Edition. It has the added advantage of still being a good reference
after years of C programming experience. The comp.lang.c FAQ is also a
good reference.

Be warned that there are a lot of bad and very bad C tutorials on the net.

Please note that lcc-win32 is Jacob's product. This is not to say that
it is bad, just that his opinion is biased.

Jacob, pointing at your stuff was a reasonable response, but you should
say that it is yours when posting the link.

I think it is (or perhaps was) available as an ebook - certainly I
know a couple of people who've got electronic copies, though I've
never myself managed to find a site selling it for download.

If ever you do find such a site, or indeed a site offering a free copy,
the proper course is to pen a quick email to Prentice Hall, informing
them of the URL.

Well, I do not like to make me self proclaimed publicity.

In the page I am referring to, my name is written anyway, so it is easy
to see. But writing:

"lcc-win32 is written by me and it is a great thing" looks somehow
awkward...

I listed some features, nothing really flashy... er... sorry Flash

:-)

There is a growing list of "warez" sites, where any possible book
seems to be there. All of them scanned and available in pdf
format.

This must be an industrial type of operation, made very easy by
current technology. Using an OCR, you can put *any* book on line
now.

It is like music and the mp3. Everything is available for free,
I would bet that if you look for your own book you will be able
to download it from some "warez" site.

In the other hand, it would be a good thing to put for free books
whose copyright has expired, and / or the publisher renounces to his
rights when the book goes out of print.

Hi I need to write a vb2005/sql server2005 app running over a LAN. Some users who use laptop need to have the app to have an offline mode for when they are away. I am new to net and would like to know what will be the differences in the online-only and online/offline versions of the app? As not all users need it, is it possible to configure the app so it knows when it is in desktop (online-only) or laptop modes? Thanks

I have recently begun to migrate our DB2 UDB v7.2 enterprise databases up to DB2 UDB v8.2. One question I can't seem to understand is why would I want to run an offline backup for a database now that the online backup includes the necessary log files. Is there a reason why I would need or want to go through the hassle of getting exclusive control of a db for an offline backup?
