The best book that I have ever seen on C programming is a book by Sams
Publishing (they have some awesome authors). It is called Teach Yourself C
In 21 Days. Then, once you have gone through that book, you might want
Teach Yourself Advanced C In 21 Days. Although, you will want a 16-bit
compiler for that book, if you do get it. Since the code in the first book
is mainly ANSI C (a standard for C), about 95% of the material will work in
DJGPP.
