I'm a C++ and perl programmer and need to make the switch into C for ROS development.
Can anyone recommend any good C books?

The best C book
There's a decent tutorial on plain C here:
http://www.lysator.liu.se/c/bwk-tutor.html
It's written by Brian W. Kernighan, one of the authors of the canonical book on C, called "The C Programming Language."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_C_Programming_Language
A good historical primer on C can also be found in the wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_programming
If you're new to C but experienced in C++, you'll want to pay special attention to C memory management using malloc() and free(), to C structs, and to the typedef keyword. (In particular, one can write quasi-OO code using the "typedef struct" convention.)

Thanks.
I ordered 'The C Programming Lanuage', have just started going through it and am fairly confident this will be the only C book I'll need. It's excellent.
While I wouldn't recommend it to anyone new to programming, if your a confident coder in other lanuages, esspecially Java or C++ this book is perfect.
