Since you present yourself as a novice programmer I would suggest 
"C: Step-by-Step" by The Waite Group (Howard W. Sams & Company publishers).

This book is a college level textbook designed to teach C a a first
programming language.  It will cover all your introductory C needs
independent of your operating system (DOS or UX).  

I have used it as a textbook in an "on the job" course I taught.  It has
been a fully satisfactory text.
