With all this talk of which language to learn first, second, and never,

Ritchie's "The C Programming Language". I haven't heard it mentioned
recently. At one time, it was the 'bible' of C programming. Is it still
as important in the Cocoa world?

But of course it is! I will not surrender 20 years (plus the
modification of ANSI) of learnin' so quickly! It is, of course,
relevant. In fact, surprisingly enough, I consulted K&R just the other
day (on one of those obscure points). BTW, get the NEW K&R - unlike my
copies, which border on antiques...
