What book would you suggest for someone who started on the K&R 2nd Ed. then didn't write a line in C for about 15 years?
I would appreciate something near the K&R style, but updated with the latest changes to the language, security related caveats etc.

- squarefoot 6y agoThanks, looks interesting. I would order the dead tree book if it wasn't from Manning, which uses a layout that is almost unreadable to me: thin fonts and no bold text where it should be. just take a look at the difference from the CC licensed .pdf and the livebook at Manning's site, and on paper it'll be even worse (been burned before with the otherwise excellent Nim book which is hardly readable as well). Why is it still so hard to replicate the readability of the K&R after so many years? Please stop using thin fonts!
