Book Description

This book will give you an interesting glimpse into a powerful lower-level world, using a series of web development examples. It explains how to write and compile C programs for the Linux operating system. The author introduces operators for manipulating C expressions, functions and structured programming, loop statements, numeric arrays, pointers, strings, memory management, and disk files.

Because the C language is like Latin - it is finite and has not changed for years. C is tight and spare, and in the current economic climate we will need a host of young people who know C to keep existing critical systems running.

C is built right into the core of Linux and Unix. The design idea behind Unix was to write an operating system in C so all you needed to port it to a new architecture was a C compiler. Linux is essentially the success story of a series of earlier attempts to make a PC version of Unix.

A knowledge of C is now and has been for years a pre-requisite for serious software professionals and with the recent popularity and maturity of Open Systems this is even more true. The terseness and perceived difficulty of C saw it being ousted from university teaching during the late 1990s in favour of Java but there is a growing feeling amongst some teaching communities that Java really is not such a good place to start beginners.

• The Art and Craft of Programming, C Edition (John C. Lusth)

  This book is designed to be used as the primary textbook in a college-level first course in computing. It takes a fairly traditional approach, emphasizing problem solving, design, and programming as the core skills of computer science.

• Object-Oriented Programming with ANSI-C (A. Schreiner)

  This book is not going to praise object-oriented programming or condemn the Old Way. It's simply going to use ANSI-C to discover how object-oriented programming is done, what its techniques are, why they help us solve bigger problems,

• A Book on C: Programming in C (Al Kelley, et al.)

  The C language is demonstrated with numerous examples and extensive exercises that guide readers through each concept. Step-by-step "dissections" of program code reveal the underlying logic of the programs and include in-depth implementation details.
