The C Programming Language译作《C程序设计语言》，是由著名的计算机科学家Brian W. Kernighan和C语言之父的Dennis M. Ritchie合著的一部计算机科学著作，是第一部介绍C语言编程方法的书籍。它是一本必读的程序设计语言方面的参考书。它在C语言的发展和普及过程中起到了非常重要的作用，被视为是C语言的业界标准规范，而且至今仍然广泛使用。它也被公认为计算机技术著作的典范，以清晰简洁的文字讲述而著称。书中用"hello world"为实例开始讲解程序设计，也已经成为程序设计语言图书的传统。(It is a computer science book co authored by the famous computer scientist Brian W. Kernighan and the Dennis M. Ritchie of C language. It is the first book to introduce C language programming method. It is a required reference book for programming language. It plays a very important role in the development and popularization of the C language, which is regarded as the standard specification of the C language, and is still widely used. It is also recognized as a model of computer technology works, known for a clear and concise text. In the book, "Hello world" is used as an example to explain the program design, and it has also become the tradition of programming language books.)
