“'Fluent C' is an excellent introduction to C design patterns. There are many issues any professional C developer will encounter: how can memory be used efficiently? How can data structures be processed? How can error cases be trapped and logged? 'Fluent C' will show you how to handle these and many other problems step-by-step. More than that, it will show you how an experienced C developer will examine and solve problems. You will see how real-world projects have tackled complex issues, with detailed information about large open source projects. You will see how C professionals: Structure their code and manage their source files, how they avoid "#ifdef hell" by simplifying their preprocessor instructions, and how C design patterns provide a powerful shared language that C teams can use to design production quality code. 'Fluent C' assumes a foundational knowledge of the C language and, for new developers, is best paired with an introductory C text. It's a book worthy of space on any professional C developer's bookshelf. Recommended.” (from Amazon)
