Abstract:
This highly readable text is designed for beginning and intermediate C programmers. While focusing on the C programming language, the book empasizes stylistic issues and software engineering principles that can be applied to developing programs that are readable, maintainable, portable, and efficient. This book can be used as the primary textbook in a course on C or as a primary book by programmers intent on learning C. The software engineering techniques discussed throughout the text are illustrated in a C interpreter whose source listing is provided on a diskette with the book. There are highlighted "bug alerts" which offer tips on the common errors made by novice programmers. From reviews of the previous edition: "Rarely does an introductory book on a programming language balance the basic and the advanced so well."--Computer Reviews "Outstanding textbook for novice C users."--Computer Book Review "Excellent for a systematic person who wants a running start in C."--UnixWorld.
