Product Description

Product Description
Only slightly less anticipated than sequels to the Star Wars trilogy, but infinitely more useful, C For Dummies, Volume Two, covers essential advanced topics that other books about C scarcely touch on. Best–selling author Dan Gookin takes on things such as strings, arrays, pointers, structures, disk access, and multiple modules –– and renders them comprehensible. Plus, with over 100 sample programs, C For Dummies, Volume Two, shows you C in action, with code you can readily adapt for your own projects.

From the Back Cover
"It makes very complex material simple and funny. I think Dan Gookin is the best writer of all time!" —Derek Yuen, Ontario, Canada

Up–to–Date Coverage of Microsoft & Borland Compilers!

Let Expert Author Dan Gookin Show You What You Really Need to Know About Programming in C! C For Dummies®, Volume Two, is the much awaited sequel to C For Dummies®, Volume One. It's the rest of the story filled with relevant information that C programmers need to know. This book not only goes into more detail on many common C topics — it also offers Dan's loving advice on many advanced topics. This down–to–earth reference explores the short history of the C language and provides helpful tips that show users how to trouble–shoot in C. Soon, you'll be able to figure out functions and find out how to deal with the ever–changing variables and math associated with C programming. It's actually explained in a way that makes C fun and easy–to–understand! Ask for IDG Books' …For Dummies® Books, the Fun and Easy Way to Find Out About Computers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow! This is great!, 14 Nov 2000
By A Customer
I needed an A-level, so I decided to do computing. I had no previous knowledge of programming, and I hoped that this book would teach me about C. It was one of the best written books I've seen, and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending it to anyone in a similar position to me.

5.0 out of 5 stars More C from the author who brought you Volume 1, 14 Nov 1999
By A Customer
This book covers more advanced topics than the previous one. I bought both together in one set and my knowledge has increased in leaps and bounds.

If you are serious about learning a computer language you will definately need a hard, down to earth paper reference- and the C for Dummies books are just that.
