In a few days I read a cornerstone of programming books, the famous K&R (by the authors Kernighan & Ritchie); it is the most famous book for C programming.
In the book is very short (total 340 pages, but the last ~ 100 pages of appendix are a reference manual condensed). The book is suitable for students who have a good basic programming, because they are non-trivial concepts presented and implemented using pointers and structs. All the concepts and paradigms of eviscerated and C are explained to you. In the final part of the book, Also presented are the basics of C programming in UNIX environment.
The two authors are very clear and explain in depth the technical choices and the paradigms used.
Ultimately, being a pillar of the program, recommend it to all programmers: I think it is a book in the library is essential to every programmer.

If I remember correctly, Also the exercises are not bad. Do I get the sample programs are sort(1), wc(1), etc.?
Exact, throughout the book is built toilet and other utility commands.
It is one of the best parts. There are few books that give examples so simple, complete and really useful.
I, I am a master of programming, I know by heart!
