5.0 out of 5 stars Buy this book. It is one of the three best C books ever!, 22 Mar 1999
By A Customer
"C Programming Faqs : Frequently Asked Questions" by Steve Summit is an absolute must have. Not only is Mr. Summit an incredibly talented writer, but the contents are superbly accurate. This is a *very* rare quality in C books. Who can use this book? Anyone from the most raw-boned neophyte to the most incredibly talented expert. The questions in the book are "frequently asked" precisely because they are usually not intuitively obvious and because they do come up frequently in practice. This work is the culmination of many years of effort on the part of one of the most helpful, courteous, and knowledgeable experts on the C language. The book is much more extensive than the on-line C FAQ, and a lot easier to read in book format. I have a copy at my bedside, which is reserved for my true favorites. Buy it!!! That's an order. The rating stops at 5 stars, but if I could, I would give it an entire galaxy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exellent book, definitely for experienced C programmers, 11 Mar 2001
By A Customer
Definitely worth buying. Highlights the areas of common programming mistakes and suggests model solutions. You need a very good understanding of C to appreciate the book. This is definitely for programmers who have been using the language for sometime and want a better understanding of why various constructs that they may have used are thrown out by the complier or cause programs to crash.

This is not a book to learn the language

5.0 out of 5 stars It covers the bases wonderfully!, 20 May 1999
By A Customer
This book would be a chapter shorter if C didn't have "++", "--", "**", etc. operators, but that's C's fault.

C Programming FAQs explains so many things I've scratched my head at, and shows how to do them properly, and most importantly, portably. Anyone interested in programming C NEEDS this book!
