It all depends on how you learn, some people are thinkers, some are doers, I do the job of an Electrical Engineer, designing digital electronics and microcontroller code, but I dropped out of Electrical Eng in school, and hell, I may not even get my CS degree because it's too damn boring.
Point being, some people will learn C a lot better staring at K&R2 and diku than just K&R2.
Although granted, something a lot nicer than diku should be found for someone just learning.
