I've searched through the most popular books on C and C++ trying to find something on how to determine how much memory is available for your data. I was looking for something comparable to the "memavail" command in Turbo Pascal. A programmer wants this information if he plans on putting most or all of his computer's available memory to best use. Finally I found something, and it was in this book. (I am amazed that other books on C offer nothing by way of advice or anything else in this area.) ... Read More
Rating: - Nice book
This book is nice one, I'm sure that it could make you understand the language. I'm a C++ programmer, but somehow I have to read/analyze C code very often (since C is more popular than C++ in Japan). This book is well-done in many aspects. However, there are still something/functions that shouldn't be use. For example, the author used "gets()" function, which is dangerous.
Anyway, overall this is a nice book on C tutorial. Note for noive/beginner don't hope to finish it within 21 Days, ... Read More
Rating: - Fun to frustrating
This book starts off excellent, giving the user the belief that C is easy, etc. In fact, it is not easy and you need to have some programming experience before attempting this book. For the first 5 days no experience is necessary, but this changes quickly
Rating: - An Excellent Tutorial!!!
This is the first C programming book I read. I still recall the excitement I felt when I run the first code example in the book and saw "Hello World" displayed on the screen.
1) The authors present the key concepts in C language, such as pointers and arrays, in a concise and easy-to-understand manner.
2) The many code examples (with analysis) in the book enable the readers to better understand the language features. More importantly, they can get a feel on when and how to use ... Read More
Rating: - Very comprehensive but too complicated
This book is good and will teach you a lot. But at many points i felt like giving up because it is easy to get lost as it is too complicated.
