I've recently been reading Scott Meyers' Effective (Modern) C++ books. They are fantastic - can anyone recommend something similar for C? I.e. books that assume you're familiar with the language, but explains pitfalls and best practices in a practical way.

- krylon 10y agoThat book is great, very in-depth, yet fun to read. One caveat, though, this book is from the mid-nineties, so some parts are a little dated. Still, very much worth reading.

It covers the basics and then goes into depth on a few of the things C is supposed to be bad at, demonstrating good ways to work (strings, threads, OOP, libraries). I have a copy on my bookshelf at work, and have been referring to it extensively this week (exposing a C entry point to a C++ world...) It has steered me away from some fairly silly things a couple of times! It does disagree quite strongly with the article though.
