21st century C programming, as I recall, will get you set up a dev environment with tooling, which can be hard for an entry level C programmer. It also covers useful tools and libraries.

It's also a fairly good C book in general, though I don't know that I'd want to try to learn a computer language from it.

Deep C is wonderful.
