When installing the compiler on your computer it is important to visit the publisher's website and look at the faq regarding this title. It will save you a lot of time getting the compiler to function properly. i.e the stubify.exe file does not copy as needed from the CD and you must do it manually. Not a big problem, but 'stupifying.expasperating' if you don't check out these faq's.

Good programmers (in any programming language) should master, at least: The language, algorithms to solve the problem, and coding style - to create dependable programs. Good programming books should teach, at least, these techniques. Good authors of programming books should be masters in these techniques. Too many C/C++ books available in the market are very bad, and, in my opinion, this is one of the worst. The authors knowledge of C, as exemplified in this book, is so poor that most of their examples will either not compile on a good compiler or will run incorrectly. Their algorithms are primitive in the worst possible sense, and they advocate a bad, and dangerous, coding style. In short, most of my students write better code. If you are interested in mastering C/C++, consult the 2000 book reviews at the Internet site of ACCU (Association for C and C++ Users). In order to conclude with an optimistic smile I will mention that, in my opinion, this book should not have come with a CD-ROM - but should have come with a paper shredder.

I finished this book in a little under 5 weeks. It covered a great deal of material on the C programming language. I found it to be very well written and comprehensable even though some topics(like pointers) were difficult to grasp and had to be reread. I very much appreciated the exams and code that were included on the companion CD. The exams helped me gauge my progress. I would highly recommend this book
