A hands-on book on rudiments of programming, Programming Techniques through C: A Beginner's Companion teaches you the techniques of solving problems from simpler ones like "finding out the area of a triangle" to more involved ones like "sorting and searching". The visual approach to solve problems in a step-by-step manner through flowcharts makes it easy for the beginners to solve problems and write programs using the C programming language. The emphasis is on problem solving procedures rather than learning a language.
