Learning to Program in C

With the same insight and appreciation for the learning process that characterize his C language training program, Dr. Plum has provided an introduction to C which makes clear the underlying processes of the language. Presupposing only an acquaintance with computers, this book shows how to write C programs that are both efficient and portable. Program examples are chosen to highlight the special role of C as an “implementer's language” — close to the machine yet structured as a proper high-level language. All the programs have been tested on several systems directly from the text, and convey a consistent concern for readability as well as correctness. Learning to Program in C is ideal for anyone beginning C language. As an introduction to programming modern microprocessors, this book prevents the wasted effort of learning non-portable assembler languages. Experienced users of C will find the book's clear explanation of fundamentals of use in understanding the unique aspects of C. *Sadly, yet another excellent text ruined by missing pages!** Thomas Plum.
