Provided you are already an experienced programmer in at least one other
language, the title is very nearly true.  A coder switching from one language
to another does not need a lot of tutorial, but does need quick reference and
access to the concepts.  Horton provides this in a very organized, planned and
complete fashion.
 
On second thought, maybe you better make that two or more languages, preferably
unrelated.  At times Horton's lack of explanation might be a problem.  The
concept of pointers, for example, is quite important to C, but has no analogue
in a number of other computer languages.
 
Still, if you know what you're doing this is a very quick introduction.
