Summary

This book is an introductory C programming tutorial in Tsinghua University Press's "Software Development Video Lecture Hall" series, compiled by the Mingri Science and Technology team and published in its second edition in July 2012. Written for beginners, the book is organized into four progressive parts—Basic Knowledge, Core Techniques, Advanced Applications, and Project Practice—spanning 17 chapters. Part 1 covers the C language overview, algorithms, data types, operators and expressions, common input/output functions, selection-structure programming, and loop control, helping readers build a foundation in syntax and flow control. Part 2 focuses on the three key topics of arrays, functions, and pointers, integrating the basics learned earlier so that readers can write simple C programs. Part 3 introduces structures and unions, bitwise operations, preprocessing, files, storage management, and network socket programming, extending the range of problems readers can handle to more complex programs. Part 4, Project Practice, uses a Student Grade Management System as an example and follows the software engineering steps of requirements analysis, system design, and function design to guide readers through a complete project development process. All knowledge points are explained with concrete examples, and the program code includes detailed comments. The accompanying CD provides about 30 hours of synchronized audio-video instruction in 123 segments, along with source code for 881 examples, 15 module and project cases, 616 skill test questions, 371 real corporate interview questions, and PowerPoint teaching slides. The book can serve as a self-study guide for programming beginners, a teaching reference for relevant university courses, or a reference for developers.

Editor's review

如果你是第一次翻开编程书，最怕的往往不是难，而是“看得懂、写不出”。这本书的设计正是围绕这一点展开的：语法点后面紧跟小实例，代码逐行注释，读者可以边看边敲，把抽象概念变成可运行的结果。它的结构安排值得称道。数组、函数、指针被单独归入“核心技术”篇，这是C语言学习中最容易卡壳的三道坎，书中围绕它们安排了较多篇幅和配套实例，并在讲解中反复调用前面的基础内容，形成回环复习。第3篇把文件、位运算、预处理、存储管理和套接字编程带进来，让读者具备处理稍复杂程序的能力；最后的“学生成绩管理系统”则把零散知识收拢成一个完整项目。需要说明的是，它是一本“教材型入门书”，不是标准参考手册。书中的开发环境与语言标准以成书时的VC++ 6.0、Turbo C等为主，读者若使用现代编译器，需自行适应工具差异。但就体系完整、配套资源丰富、适合自学打卡而言，作为C语言第一本书它依然合格。

Who it's for

A good fit for

零基础、想靠视频和实例自学C语言的初学者
需要一本配套讲义的高校C语言课程学生
从其他语言转入门系统级编程的开发者
喜欢“边看视频边敲代码”学习节奏的读者

Not a good fit for

想深入钻研C99/C11标准与现代工程实践的老手
需要查阅权威语法规范的语言律师型读者
排斥安装编译器、只想读懂概念、不打算动手的人

Reading tips

先读第1章并用VC++或Dev-C++跑通第一个程序，别跳过动手环节。
指针对应章节建议放慢速度，每读一个实例就自己改写一遍再看结果。
把每章末尾的练习题当作业完成，避免“看得懂但写不出”。
学完后用第17章的项目结构复刻一个小系统，检验知识整合能力。
