Rating: - This guy is sick
I would reccomend everything this cat writes, but especially this tome. For some scary reason every page of this book address topics that are exactly relevant to my CS coursework in school, and which other books dont address or explain poorly. This guy can make any advanced topic easy.
1. Pointers to pointers, arrays of pointers, pointers to structs, and function pointers are all covered better then anyone.
2. Dude Unix system calls and process control ... Read More
Rating: - A healthy break from the same old C-rap

Rating: - If your serious about C then BUY THIS NOW!!!
This is a GREAT book. The book starts off with pointers and arrays none of this "intro to variables" you get in other books. Definately not for beginners but if you know C then this will help you leap to the next level.
Rating: - This is an excellent book in advanced C programming methods.
This is an excellent book in advanced C programming techniques. Although it is an advanced text, the author explains each method in detail and strengthens understanding of key elements in C programming. A number of weaknesses prevent this book from rating 5 stars: the last chapter is number 9 (which makes it harder to use in a 16 week semester), the second chapter is really about four chapters (structures, pointers, linked lists, other topics), the chapter length ranges from 4 pages (chap 1) to ...
