Hi folks;
Can anyone recomend a Good C book. Im not as familiar with
C as id like, I need some coaching and examples. Ideally I'd
like a book kind of like a reference manual and kind of like
a non trivial tutorial, one that would make a
good companion to the K&R. I went to the bookstore and
found a bunch of books but at 20 bucks a crack I dont really
whant to make a mistake. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
thanks
dave

Kochan published by Hayden It teaches C in an intersting way, without being too difficult for beginners, nor too simple-minded for people familiar with computers.. It has additional sections on working with larger programs, common programming mistakes, the UNIX C library, lint, among others.. Steven

> Can anyone recomend a Good C book. > >dave >!uwvax!geowhiz/schuh A good intoductory & reference book for people who have some experience w/HLLs is: "C: An advanced introduction" by Narain Gehani (sp?) In addition to covering most of the K&R material, in a more readable fashion (personal opinion), this books goes into more advanced topics, eg. data abstraction, multi-process programming, the unix interface, etc. It serves as a good companion resource to K&R. Hope this helps!! matt
