[clug-talk] Recommendations for C Programming Book

[Craig McLean]

Hello.

 

I own Kernighan and Ritchie, I`ve even used it as a reference in the more
distant past.  It definitely is one of the great classics in Computer
Science.  I think I might use K&R, Expert C Programming and the Programming
Praxis website to get back up to speed.  Most of the tutorial based books
seem to simple.  

 

Nothing like diving right back in.

Another excellent book and you can't get more authoritative authors than
those.  The reason that I prefer the other book is that there is more
information including tips for C compiler writers.

My holiday project is to get through one C book.  The one I chose is the
"C Programming Language" by Kernighan and Ritchie.
