Book Description

Publication Date: 19 Sep 2001 | ISBN-10: 0672322226 | ISBN-13: 978-0672322228 | Edition: 4

C Primer Plus is a conversational-style book aimed at those new to C programming. A friendly and easy-to-use self-study guide, this book will be appropriate for serious students of programming, as well as developers proficient in other languages with a desire to better understand the fundamentals of this core language.

As with all the editions, author Stephen Prata's aim has been to create an introduction to C that is instructive, clear, and helpful. Programming concepts are explained along with details of the C language; the book does not assume that you are a professional programmer. Many short, easily typed examples illustrate just one or two concepts at a time, since learning by doing is one of the most effective ways to master new information. Finally, review questions and programming exercises at the end of each chapter punctuate the most critical information and help readers digest the most difficult concepts. The text has been updated to accommodate the emergence of a new standard for C-C99.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for absolute beginners 2 Feb 1999
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
I have read "C Primer Plus" and want to recommend it to everyone who has an interest in learning a computer programming language. It is written with a touch that takes away all the fears and respect concerning difficulties a beginner might have. Prata's humourous style and pedagogic approach makes it easy to get a hold of programming techniques. Until chapter 6 the style pace is moderate but then quickens. By then you have been given the means to cope with all the terms and foreign commands and you read on, eager to learn more. The Appendix-section also makes it a rather good reference as long as you keep your programming on "the home front". I strongly recommend this book. Buy it if you want to extend your knowledge!

2.0 out of 5 stars review 5 Aug 1999
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
This book is too wordy. The programming excercises at the end of each chapter, in many cases are poorly worded. Additionally, the book does a poor job on file input / output and pointers. I definately would not recommend this book to learn pointers and file input/output.
