There are several, but 'good' is something that invariably starts
religious wars in newsgroups. I also do not know if starting C on a micro
is a very good idea, because C on a micro is not really C. Maybe the best
way to start C is to get a demo or free C version (like C/C++ builder from
Inprise/Borland) and work through the examples in a book, the book being
preferrably B. Kernighan & D. Ritchie's 'C Programming Language' , 2nd
edition or above (because it covers ANSI C and prototypes etc). Then when
you know how to swim a little you can swim in the micro world. This is
just my opinion.
