Standard C Library, The

There are many books out there that fluff themselves with pointless text. Many times referencing subjects that force the reader to other books. What struck me the most about this book in particular was it's programmer grammar. It truthfully excluded the fluff that many other books include. It got to the point, explained its subjects clearly, efficiently and concisely. Its focus on the language was truthfully a "programmer-to-programmer" adventure. And though it assumed the reader to be a programmer, its subjects were expanded in a way that even new developers could understand. Of the many books in my collection, none have ever felt so natural. My love and passion for the C language has been encouraged.

If you are a programmer that cares about the standard library just wowthis book is detailed enough and has everything you need to write sophisticated programs using the standard libraryspecially for people in *nix based os as you may know c and *nix are closely relatedits an awesome tutorial and reference on my shelf along some other damn good c programming booksif your major is computer science this is what you should focus on since c programming is timeless and never gets oldthanks thanks thank

Second to none in diving into the depths of understanding C as a language and its implementation. This is easily the best text for C next to K&R2.

The most well part of this print is the ink and paper. The paper is thick enough and strong and the lettering is readable. This book has an Introduction to the Standard c library, and included the sample of each library for use and source code which is like legalese in the sense of representation and includes rights to copy edit and modify but the original is copyrighted ...so that you must include the source of the book, year and author as specified. This kind of copyright seems more honorable and clean when heard by ear or seen. However for a person who learns by reading and figuring. It is only a manner of book learning and hobby for one.

The book, The Standard C Library, by P.J. Plauger, is an excellent reference for any C language programmer, novice to experienced, who wants to have handy an authoritative source of information on the C Standard Library. A thank you to Amazon for facilitating my purchase.

This a great book and should be in every C programmers library. I bought a new copy of this book from Amazon and promptly sent it straight back to them because the binding and print quality were of very poor quality. I am sure what I received was a 'print-on-demand' copy. I sent back the expensive 'new' book and reordered some time later a good used copy for a fraction of the price.

Although the information in this book is crucial for C Programming, I was disappointed in the quality of the print. Some of the words are not even legible.

Excellent reference book for those who need it. I am going the self-taught method and I need all the help I can get.

Per chiunque voglia cimentarsi nel mondo del C deve, e sottolineo deve, leggere questo libro. La stampa non è esaltante, ma il contenuto è assolutamente di prima qualità.

Best book about C/UNIX(R) programming, I had EVER seen.Except print quality - which is, for uncomprehensible reasons, horrible. Buy magnifying glass with the book ...
