half of it is about tools (valgrind, make, autoconf)
and it also talks about libraries (sqlite, gsl, etc...)
of course there are some chapters about the language itself
- Scramblejams 12y agoHow did you like that book? I was thinking about buying it, but a number of the reviews I read dampened my enthusiasm. FWIW tptacek likes C Interfaces and Implementations by Hanson, wonder how that compares.
- shepardrtc 12y agoPersonally, I liked the book, but what the parent comment said about its contents is true. Half is tools, then the rest is mostly libraries, and then there is some stuff on the language. But if you didn't know about those things to begin with, then its very helpful.
- emmanueloga_ 12y ago> I was thinking about buying it, but a number of the reviews I read dampened my enthusiasm. A bit meta: Looking for a book in a particular subject, I picked one because of a number of the reviews I read, but actually reading the book dampened my enthusiasm. I don't know about this particular book, but if the subject is worth it it is probably also worth your time to check it out yourself :-).
