Loading... The C Programming Language (2nd Edition) (1988)by Brian W. Kernighan, Dennis M. Ritchie (Author)
   No current Talk conversations about this book. [2021-11-19]   pbth1957 | Nov 19, 2021 |  While I understand and appreciate the historical significance of this book, I really don't think it has aged well for the modern programmer. I found it to be a not bad refresher for the C language, but anything beyond that I would try to find another source to learn C. It felt to me that you already needed to know a fairly low level programming language to understand how to do something in C, compared to a modern learner who probably is using C to start learning more lower level ideas. It also compares C to languages which aren't in wide use anymore (at least for beginner languages), as well as referencing the C language prior to the ANSI standard (which feels pointless at this point in time.) Again, I understand its a significant historical book for C, but if someone asked me for recommendations on a beginner textbook for programming or the C language, I wouldn't recommend this one. (  ) jmoravec09 | Sep 12, 2020 | Definitive reference for C syntax and functionality. Not great for learning, but fabulous for reference. (  ) SirCrash | Jan 13, 2020 | Great starter for anyone wanting to l;earn C and keep within the ANSI standard of coding. Weed out those bad habits before they form, he he. (  ) ajw107 | Jul 26, 2019 | If you write software in C, this book needs to be on the shelf. ( )1  cawilliams | Apr 11, 2016 | no reviews | add a review
Belongs to Publisher SeriesIs an adaptation ofHas as a supplement
The authors present the complete guide to ANSI standard C language programming. Written by the developers of C, this new version helps readers keep up with the finalized ANSI standard for C while showing how to take advantage of C's rich set of operators, economy of expression, improved control flow, and data structures. The 2/E has been completely rewritten with additional examples and problem sets to clarify the implementation of difficult language constructs. For years, C programmers have let K&R guide them to building well-structured and efficient programs. Now this same help is available to those working with ANSI compilers. Includes detailed coverage of the C language plus the official C language reference manual for at-a-glance help with syntax notation, declarations, ANSI changes, scope rules, and the list goes on and on.
