It looks like an introductory C programming book.
I was hoping for it to be a "hello experienced C programmer, here's new stuff that's happened in the past 20 years" kind of thing which would be useful.
I think most people have a hard time keeping up with the progress of all the technologies they use unless they've got a pretty narrow focus.
For instance, I learned make in the 90s. I should probably go read up on what's happened in the past 25 years or so. Probably lots of cool stuff.
Edit: it looks like just reading the release notes is probably sufficient. There's indeed lots of interesting new things
- GrqP 3y agoThere are some good books to give you that kind of delta for C++11/14/17/20. Modern C++ for Absolute Beginners Modern C++ Programming Cookbook et al. I'm actually starting to like C++ again. Weird.
