Suggestion for books.

[lifesamd]

Hey, am pursuing my graduation in Information technology.. so, computer languages are gonna be my career base.. Now, I'm starting to learn C language. Will follow it by C++, then Java and eventually C#.. So, can you guys suggest me some books that would be good for learning C and java? Am currently studying from Dennis Ritchie's C programming language and Head first Java.
Please suggest me a good reference so that I dont develop bad habits while writing programs..
And The C programming language book is way older than all those new thick C programming books in the market now.. are there topics which are not covered in the C programming language? What's a good alternative book for C?
And, head first java is written for an older version of Java. If I download the latest version and run the source codes from Head first Java, will that be a problem?

You will never go wrong with the classics, http/www.amazon.com/The-Programming-Language-Brian-Kernighan/dp/0131101633/ref=sr_1_sc_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1376942611&sr=8-2-spell&keywords=kerninaghan+ritchie (there's also a "newer" edition).

Yes, it's written almost 30+ years ago, but is still relevant (and teaches you a couple of tricks you won't find in C++/C#).

Edit: I just read you're already into that book 😉

Personally, I find myself able to better understand concepts from the Head First series, but as far as reference books go, I utilize the Gaddis books for C++, at the very least. I have an older book for C that my father had when he was in college (yep, that old), and I've looked through it. Honestly, the C language hasn't changed any that I can tell. Everything you find in those books are going to be relevant to today's concepts with the language.

Best of luck in your endeavors!
