Good book to learn C
I'd like to learn C but I wanted to ask if anyone knows of a good book to start with. I came across some folks who said the best one is 'The C programming language, second edition' but some reviews said that it's not for beginners. I am learning Java and UNIX on my Mac and am familiar with programming, but I still consider myself a novice (I'm learning for fun and the intellectual exercise).
So if this book isn't the right one, what else can you recommend? And while I'm here, I thought that OS X came with a c compiler. Is that correct? I tried to search the man pages for the proper command, but couldn't find anything.
If this is not the proper forum for this post, I apologize. I wasn't sure where it ought to go, and whoever's the moderator, feel free to move it if necessary.

mail::spamassassin::plugin::autolearnthreshold
Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::AutoLearnThreshold(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::AutoLearnThreshold(3pm)
NAME
Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::AutoLearnThreshold - threshold-based discriminator for Bayes auto-learning
SYNOPSIS
loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::AutoLearnThreshold
DESCRIPTION
This plugin implements the threshold-based auto-learning discriminator for SpamAssassin's Bayes subsystem. Auto-learning is a mechanism
whereby high-scoring mails (or low-scoring mails, for non-spam) are fed into its learning systems without user intervention, during
scanning.
Note that certain tests are ignored when determining whether a message should be trained upon:
o rules with tflags set to 'learn' (the Bayesian rules)
o rules with tflags set to 'userconf' (user configuration)
o rules with tflags set to 'noautolearn'
Also note that auto-learning occurs using scores from either scoreset 0 or 1, depending on what scoreset is used during message check. It
is likely that the message check and auto-learn scores will be different.
USER OPTIONS
The following configuration settings are used to control auto-learning:
bayes_auto_learn_threshold_nonspam n.nn (default: 0.1)
The score threshold below which a mail has to score, to be fed into SpamAssassin's learning systems automatically as a non-spam
message.
bayes_auto_learn_threshold_spam n.nn (default: 12.0)
The score threshold above which a mail has to score, to be fed into SpamAssassin's learning systems automatically as a spam message.
Note: SpamAssassin requires at least 3 points from the header, and 3 points from the body to auto-learn as spam. Therefore, the
minimum working value for this option is 6.
bayes_auto_learn_on_error (0 | 1) (default: 0)
With "bayes_auto_learn_on_error" off, autolearning will be performed even if bayes classifier already agrees with the new
classification (i.e. yielded BAYES_00 for what we are now trying to teach it as ham, or yielded BAYES_99 for spam). This is a
traditional setting, the default was chosen to retain backwards compatibility.
With "bayes_auto_learn_on_error" turned on, autolearning will be performed only when a bayes classifier had a different opinion from
what the autolearner is now trying to teach it (i.e. it made an error in judgement). This strategy may or may not produce better future
classifications, but usually works very well, while also preventing unnecessary overlearning and slows down database growth.
