C Overview

Redis is an open source, advanced key-value store. It is often referred to as a data structure server since keys can contain strings, hashes, lists, sets and sorted sets.

Judy is a C library that provides a state-of-the-art core technology that implements a sparse dynamic array. Judy arrays are declared simply with a null pointer. A Judy array consumes memory only when it is populated, yet can grow to take advantage of all available memory if desired.

  It uses Terminfo format, supports pads and color and multiple highlights and forms characters and function-key mapping, and has all the other SYSV-curses enhancements over BSD Curses.

This book by Steve Kochan is absolutely the best book for anyone starting out programming in C. This is an excellent introductory text with frequent examples and good text. This book makes no assumptions about the particular computer system or operating system on which the C language is implemented. This books is written for novices and experienced programmers alike.

Peter has written one of the greatest books to hit the computer book stands in a long time! This is not your typical C book, but is rather a fun book to read. As I told Peter, most C programming texts are really boring as all they do is describe the functions, give a abstract example and then move onto something different. This book is chock full of real world C stories and folklore, including a story about the C bug that brought down the AT&T network. I found the tongue-in-cheek attitude and real world examples/stories very, very interesting. Run, don’t walk, down to your local store and buy this book. I really really loved this book, and I read most of it in one sitting. There is also a great introduction to C++ for C programmers that will get you started with C++ and Object-Oriented programming. This book is not for beginners, but is a great second book on C.

This book is a must for every programmer, especially those who program in the DOS environment. The Bible organizes and simplifies the information contained in Microsoft’s C library. Each function page gives the purpose, syntax, example call, includes, common uses, returns and examples.

1. C - A Reference Manual (Harbison/Steele, Prentice Hall) is simply the best. The longer you have it the more you need it. A must-have!
2. C - A Software Engineering Approach (Darnell/Margolis, Springer) is an excellent teaching book. It presents not only the C programming language, but also typical procedures, style elements and programming techniques in a quite readable way.
3. Expert C Programming - Deep C Secrets (P. van der Linden, Prentice Hall) is both a very competent book on C and something just fun reading. Contains numerous tips and tricks as well as anecdotes on C and programming in general. I love it.
4. The GNU C Library Reference Manual (S. Loosemore, R. Stallman, R. McGrath, A. Oram, U. Drepper, available free in the internet as hypertext document) is one of the basic sources for people who program a lot on Unix-based systems. Though being a reference manual in the first place it also provides good explanations and introductions on the different of the GNU C library.
5. Programmieren mit C (Martin Lowes, Augustin Paulik, Teubner Verlag) is a good book for learning concentrating on ANSI-C. It also covers some typical applications like binary trees.

1. The Annotated ANSI-C Standard (and anything else by Herbert Schildt, Osborne) may be the cheapest way to get hold of a printed copy of the ANSI-C standard, but never read his comments! That's what not only the [alt.comp.lang.learn.c-c++] - FAQ list recommends. Like stated by Peter Seebach in comp.lang.c Schildt has been the founding idea to many a good drinking game. He is said to have a clear style that leaves the reader confident but dangerously ignorant. For more information don't hesitate to read some of the following:
   • Clive Feather's review on Schildt's errors.
   • Peter Seebach's C: The Complete Nonsense contains some more incredible examples of Schildt's expertise.
   • Peter Seebach's April Fool's posting, declaring to pass on the moderation of comp.lang.c.moderated to Herbert Schildt.
2. C-Programmierung lernen (Andre Willms, Addison-Wesley, in German language) is a book for the novice constantly using incorrect (in the ANSI sense) code but still stating one needed to use an ANSI-C compiler to try his code examples - haha!
3. GoTo C-Programmierung (Guido Krüger, Addison-Wesley, in German language) is for the advanced novice and devastates the C language in a similar manner. Apart from using void main() all the time the book contains numerous survivors from the old K&R-times as well as descriptions of library functions that are plainly wrong when speaking of ANSI-C. My advice: better buy two books that have less than half as many pages but do exactly what they're supposed to do.
4. Effektiv Programmieren in C und C++ (Dietmar Herrmann, Vieweg Verlag) is another void main() publication that even goes further by adding a return statement to the end of main(). I still say: A book supporting this rubbish cannot be recommended no matter how good it might be in some other way.
