I plan on learning Obj-C and so I decided to do it by the book and learn C first. The problem: S.G. Kochan's highly acclaimed book "Programming in C" (3rd edition) is almost ten years old now1.

I really want to get started and everywhere I looked this seemed like the book for beginners with an assumed zero-knowledge in programming2.

So, should I buy it or not?

1: A 4th edition is available to preorder but it's only due in March, 2014!

2: I know some HTML, CSS, and a tiny bit of PHP.
