Begin & Master Programming with C Fundamentals (ePub)

With this book you get sound fundamentals in both traditional C and the variants like Embedded C and C graphics. This book hopes to walk you through beginnings and advance you to become proficient at C language. I must confess it is hugely biased toward the self-taught learner; it is hands-on. You read a section and attempt all the code examples and exercises to test yourself and build skills.

With over 500 examples and exercises, the book walks you through the fundamentals of C language from the basics of variables and constants to expressions, doing maths with C, blocks and functions, control structures, strings and composite data like arrays, strucs, bitfields, unions etc. and management of memory and files.

Unlike traditional books on C, the book raises your level from novice by exposing you to the bigger issues of programming in C like error handling and management, data structures, defensive programming and best practices as encoded in the several acronyms (such as KISS, DRY, YAGNI etc.) covered in the book. The book also exposes you to the different forms of C programming with an introduction to embedded C programming and C graphics.

The next C book in this series advances you to higher levels of competence. Happy coding.
