Ask HN: Should I use K&R to learn C?
Should I? Or would I be learning C the wrong way? This would be my second language and I am still a programming newbie. Learning C so I can reverse engineer.

hmm, I think my question is fine how it is. I want to learn C, I am asking HN their opinion of a book I am thinking about. If you want specifics, I would revise my question to something like "I really want to learn how to reverse engineer malware so I'm starting this goal by learning C, is K&R a good resource to learn C from?"

Did a quick search and found it: http://www.logix.cz/michal/doc/i386/
I must ask though and I don't mean this in a challenging way but isn't this teaching ASM for an old cpu? I'm largely ignorant of ASM so feel free to correct me. I just don't see the point of learning asm for that (As I believe that ASM changes from cpu to cpu).

What you described is exactly how I want to learn C: together with ASM but wasn't sure how to go about it. But know you have gave me a general idea on how to go about it, thanks.

I might look into the K N King book, looks like another hn user is recommending it as well.

Then maybe it would be a good idea to go ahead and read K&R and then afterwards read Zed's book?
