Effective C: An Introduction to Professional C Programming

This is one of the best books on C language. Kudos to author for such unparalleled comprehensive work. If someone is looking at writing 10 line C program, this doesn't fit well. If you are looking at understanding C language to design commercial application or looking at open source C code, this is a must have. The authors deep understanding of C language can be seen at every line of the book. The contents have been presented beautifully. Only a serious C programmer or those aspiring to be one will appreciate this beautiful work.

Author don't know what he's talking. He don't explain arrray function type loop but he uses all that in 2nd chapter. He make their term and start explaining them

This book really helped me understand the basics of c language

So this is definitely not the first book to read about the language: not too many practical exercises, basics are almost never explained, etc. But it gets all the terminology right, covers important dark corners of the language, all while properly referencing CERT C and the language standard. I also like how the author avoids sliding into the usual legalese-like language which the Committee loves so much. So... As I said, it's a good 2nd book on the language, together with Modern C.

This is not a review about the contents of the book. The printing quality is terrible for the price of such a short book.

Super complet ..... et précis.

Bottom line: Buy this book if you're doing work with C. You'll be a better programmer, more deeply understand C, and write better more secure code if you follow this advice. This book is close to a modern K&R (though I still love K&R). You'll get excellent writing, a complete treatment of C and the Standard Library with all the expected code snippets and examples, and tons of priceless knowledge about the behavior of C and its toolchain. Using this book we can have fewer insecure C programs and enjoy C for many years to come! C does not constrain the programmer and lets you interact with the machine and do what needs to be done. But this power comes at a price -- the programmer must understand this power and learn to use it well and safely. This book will get you there. A very well done book by a world class C expert. At $45-$50 it's not cheap but worth every single penny. I predict this will become as well loved and worn as my K&R book.
