Here is what people are saying about the Expert C Programming
3 Star Rating  "C != C++"2010-02-15
- Reviewed By Donald J. Murray from Portland
I just read the table of contents and can give you a review....
I have almost 30 years experience at programming embedded systems and have been programming C/C++ since their inception. This book has headings that are all cryptic like it's a patronizing little game to program in C. Personally, I'd find this very annoying if I were to use this book as a reference, and most developers will want to use an expensive book as a reference.
That being said, my main issue with this book was when I saw the chapter "You know C, so C++ is easy". This has been the failing of most C++ efforts I've seen that have failed. C++ is NOT an extension of C. The best way to learn how to program C++ cleanly and efficiently is to remember the maxim...."THIS IS NOT C", and to unlearn C, before starting to learn C++ and to treat C++ as a brand new language....because it is.

This might be an OK read for a newcomer to the language if they can ignore that C++ chapter, and if they get it for under $5 in a used bookstore. I'm sure there are better books out there to learn the language from...
 
4 Star Rating  "Pretty good"2010-01-14
- Reviewed By Aaron Smith from San Francisco, CA
This was definitely a good book full of great pointers. however, i'd say skim through the book quickly, and slow down in areas that sound useful. It's really hard to describe how the book is written - it feels like it was a lot of recollections that the author remembered, wrote down, and somewhat organized into a book. I'm not slamming the author, but the this book will definitely not make you an expert c programmer. If anything, you'll definitely have had some great pointers, and common pitfalls pointed out.

I'd say at least you'll probably have learned a few things you may not have known.
 
5 Star Rating  "Excellent!"2010-01-12
- Reviewed By Adam Risi from VT, USA
This is probably one of the only books on C that I have truly read word for word, cover to cover. Peter van der Linden does an excellent job keeping the material from becoming too boring, while providing clear explanations and insignt into the "dark corners" of the C programming language. Information presented within is concise and accurate. Well worth the $$!
 
5 Star Rating  "damn good read"2009-12-30
- Reviewed By James M. Pothering
even if you no longer program in C, this is still a good read just for the history, stories, and technical content. and if you are a C programmer, this book will definitely make you a more knowing C programmer.
 
5 Star Rating  "Expert C Language"2009-07-23
- Reviewed By Soon Yau Cheong from Malaysia
A better title for this book is "Expert C Language". It is more like a English grammar book that give you fundamental yet in-depth knowledge about C programming language itself, rather than something like writing database in C.

Any programmer can write a Hello World program in C, but not everyone understand "char * const * (*next)()". If you wonder what it is, then dive into the chapter "Unscrambling declaration in C" which benefit me the most. The most confusing thing to begininer about C is probably the pointers, you get *ptr, **ptr, (int *)ptr, void (*ptr)(), int (*ptr)[]. If you have got no clue about these and you want to be an expert, then this is the book for you.

The down side about this book is, it is a bit dated, therefore it didn't include C99 standard that were published after this book. You would see some K&R style programming that seems like violation or bug to younger folks.

I would definitely recommend this book to every C programmer working at low-level software such as embedded software and device driver.
 
5 Star Rating  "Collection of useful ideas from an experienced compiler writer"2009-04-11
- Reviewed By Yong Zhi from FL USA
The author is a compiler writer, this is the biggest strength of this book other than the humor side. I already know most of the facts, but he explains everything from a compiler perspective, for example:

Arrays start at 0 rather than 1. Most people start counting at 1, rather than zero. Compiler-writers start with zero because we're used to thinking in terms of offsets. This is sometimes tough on non-compiler-writers; although a[100] appears in the definition of an array, you'd better not store any data at a[100], since a[0] to a[99] is the extent of the array.

Although the book is a little dated, the following chapters are still fun and inspiring to read:

Chapter 5. Thinking of Linking
Chapter 6. Poetry in Motion: Runtime Data Structures
Chapter 7. Thanks for the Memory

Plus, I also enjoy his humor as everyone did:

"To this day, many C programmers believe that 'strong typing' just means pounding extra hard on the keyboard."
