WHERE WAS THIS BOOK WHEN I WAS IN SCHOOL!!!! Back when I was in school we had a book from another publisher that seemed to make C more confusing than it should have been. Steve Oualline does an Excellent job of simplifying the explanation of a rather complex language. As scarry as this may sound, this book actually makes C sound like fun. I only have two gripes about this book. 1) It wasn't the text book I used in school. I know it's not directly O'Reilly's fault, I just hope other instructors read this book and evaluate it for their classes. 2) That some of the programming exercises are a little vague. The answers to them are not in the book or the companion web site so it could frustrate readers that would like to increase their skills, but are unsure of what the question is or how to solve it. |
