I bought a book at good will about the "C" lanquage called " 'C' the complete Reference" It's pretty old, it's still talking about MS-DOS and CP/M. Can I still use it to learn the langguage?
I've learned some HTML, I don't know if (like HTML) has been improved and modified over time.
-Thnx 'ihartz'
you could start with that to learn some of the basics, but I would definitely get a newer book if you are serious about it.
that'll be fine if you're just writing console apps. it will not teach you how to do GUI, but its best to learn console programming first, in any case.
The best C programming book money can buy is from 1988.
This book was only $0.49 here. Will it still do any good to read it though?
of course it will.
LOL Awesome, I thought I read 47 pages for nothing. Hopefully I can make some nice aqua-app someday.
Yeah. In programing the language doesnt realy matter that much, consider it a medium of art like painiting, sketching, or clay. Some mediums are better for some stuff but all get the point across. What you want to master is the art of it, how to do things and how to get what you want/need.

I'll second that 
yes it will still do much for you.
It'll teach you the language structer of C, what algorithm's are, that sort of thing. It will definately help. Sure you wont automatically know VC++ or C# just from reading it. But it will make it a hell of a lot easier to learn other variants of C. Once you have 1 down, it's not that hard to switch over. It's a lot easier then someone who only knows VB and no C, making the switch.
If you want to move on to C++ or C#, I suggest not to learn C first. It will only make you do things in C++ or C# in the c-way, but it is a good idea to keep the K&R book as a reference if you are learning C++ or C#.
When i read the Headline, i would say "no! buy an i-book, its better" 
huh!??!
