Novice and experienced C programmers alike will discover precise and direct programming rules explained with examples and detailed discussions. In addition, more than 300 sample programs are included... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Many of the short articles in this book could form the basis for C programming standards of a project team or a whole organization. 95% of the authors' recommended techniques are beyond controversy. The perceptive reader will notice a few, however, that conflict with modern practice in C++ and Java (e.g. mixing boolean and integer expressions). Every programmer using C, C++, or Java should be acquainted with everything in this book and either comply with it or have a good reason for not doing so.
I really liked this book...

This book was very readable and concise. It gave small sample code throughout the book and included helpful macros for debugging. I recommend this book to anyone who understands C code but is unsatisfied with how readable thier code is. This book is like a grammar book for those who want to write more concise and clear code.
Well written, balanced look at the topic. Excellent tips.
