This book is the fastest path to C fluency for anyone experienced in a general-purpose programming language. From start to finish, code examples highlight the idioms and best practices behind efficient, robust programs in a variety of areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book opens with a thorough coverage of syntax, built-in data types and operations, and program structure. C has quirks and presents challenges, which are covered in detail. The coverage of advanced features is what sets this book apart from others. Among the advanced topics covered are floating-point representation in the IEEE 754 standard; embedded assembly language in C code for overflow detection; regular expressions, assertions, and internationalization; WebAssembly through C; and software libraries for C and other clients. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMemory  efficiency and safety are the two major challenges in C programming, andyou’ll explore these challenges through a series of C examples. Arrays and structures, which are the means to high-level data representation, are covered in connection with pointers, which provide efficiency. The book again uses code examples in covering networking and wire-level security; concurrency (multiprocessing and multithreading); instruction-level parallelism; and interprocess communication through shared memory and files, pipes, message queues, and signals. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany books introduce C, but few also explain how to use it properly and optimally. \u003ci\u003eEssential C\u003c\/i\u003e does just that.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWhat You'll Learn\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccelerate your path to C mastery with this book for experienced programmers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRefresh your approach to program structure and data types\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDive into aggregates and pointers using modern C language\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRevisit storage classes and scope\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDive into concurrency (multiprocessing and multithreading) and instruction-level parallelism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish with regular expressions, assertions, signals, locales and more\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWho This Book Is For\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003eProfessional programmers or software developers who has prior experience with C or in general wanting an accelerated learning guide to modern C programming language.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Apress\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2022-10-07\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781484286753\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4842-8676-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 357\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Apress","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44677029789836,"sku":"9781484286753","price":53.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781484286753.jpg?v=1776085040","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781484286753","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
