Learn C The Hard Way by Zed Shaw
I was wondering how this compares with or compliments K&R, when I came across [this section][1] of the book that seems to slap it in the face.  Here's a section from the second paragraph:<p><i>You see, "K&R C" is actually riddled with bugs and bad style. Its age is no excuse. These were bugs when they wrote the first printing, and the 42nd printing. I hadn't actually realized just how bad most of the code was in this book and recommended it to many people. After reading through it for just an hour I decided that it needs to be taken down from its pedestal and relegated to history rather than vaunted as state of the art.</i><p>This seems a bit hyperbolic to me... I just read K&R several years ago during school (could definitely use a re-read) but remember absolutely loving it for the combination of brevity and density of information conveyed.  I'm not much of a C programmer though so I don't really know.  Could a modern C programmer respond / elaborate?<p>[1]: <a href="http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/learn-c-the-hard-waych55.html#x62-31400055" rel="nofollow">http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/learn-c-the-hard-waych...</a>
