ABOUT THE AUTHORS:

Vikas Gupta is a publisher, an internationally acclaimed author, a prolific speaker on computer learning and e-publishing,
and co-founder of a software company, offering IT-enabled services. He has coauthored several books for American
publishing giants such as Wiley, McGraw Hill, and IDG. His earlier books in the same series have broken all records of
popularity, selling more than three million copies in India alone. Comdex Computer Course Kit, a world-class learning
system (Book + Software), was introduced by him after four years of research. The book was an instant hit. However, the
feedback revealed a growing demand for a textbook on Computer Basics and C Programming. So, here is a new book that
widely covers Computer Concepts and C Programming.
The proficient teams at Kogent Learning Solutions Inc. and Dreamtech Press have seized the market of engineering
textbooks, bringing excellent content in engineering and technical education to the fore. The teams at Kogent Learning
Solutions, Inc. and Dreamtech Press are committed to providing excellence in quality of content by judiciously analyzing the
needs of its readers and ensuring dedication of its authors and editors in catering to these needs.
