My parents got it for me when I was very young, and (if memory serves correctly) it had some program listings in BASIC in the back of the book. I must've typed them into our Apple IIe computer and started to learn programming by modifying the code.
[As for being introduced to C, the book "Using C" by Clint Hicks from Que Publishing is what helped me get started and get my head around the concept of pointers. I have tons of programming books now, but that one has a very distinct crack down the spine from regular use.]
