The title reminded me of Expert C Programming: Deep C Secrets bu Peter van der Linden. If you don't have this book buy it today. It's one of the best C books I've read and AFAIK the only book that combines C and humor! His description of how to make Oobleck is alone worth the price (for those who are curious, it's a non-Newtonian fluid, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-newtonian_fluid#Oobleck, and also a Dr. Seuss character).

(OK, if you don't want to buy the book, here are the directions: http://books.google.com/books?id=4vm2xK3yn34C&pg=PA347&#...)




this book is recommended on one of the last slides (although i don't remember it talking about sequence points, or i forgot, since that was one of the things i just learnt...; i think they may only have been named in the iso standard which was probably after that book was published)

and i just found this - http://publications.gbdirect.co.uk/c_book/ - which looks like a good basic intro.
