Effective C: An Introduction to Professional C Programming
A detailed introduction to the C programming language for experienced programmers. The world runs on code written in the C programming language, yet most schools begin the curriculum with Python or Java. Effective C bridges this gap and brings C into the modern era--covering the modern C17 Standard as well as potential C2x features. With the aid of this instant classic, you'll soon be writing professional, portable, and secure C programs to power robust systems and solve real-world problems. Robert C. Seacord introduces C and the C Standard Library while addressing best practices, common errors, and open debates in the C community. Developed together with other C Standards committee experts, Effective C will teach you how to debug, test, and analyze C programs. You'll benefit from Seacord's concise explanations of C language constructs and behaviors, and from his 40 years of coding experience. You'll learn:
How to identify and handle undefined behavior in a C program The range and representations of integers and floating-point values How dynamic memory allocation works and how to use nonstandard functions How to use character encodings and types How to perform I/O with terminals and filesystems using C Standard streams and POSIX file descriptors How to understand the C compiler's translation phases and the role of the preprocessor How to test, debug, and analyze C programs
Effective C will teach you how to write professional, secure, and portable C code that will stand the test of time and help strengthen the foundation of the computing world.

Praise for this book
"A worthwhile addition to a C programmer's bookshelf."
--Ian Bruntlett, ACCU "Effective C will teach you C programming for the modern era...This book's emphasis on the security aspects of C programming is unmatched. My personal recommendation is that, after reading it, you use all of the available tools it presents to avoid undefined behavior in the C programs you write.
--Pascal Cuoq, Chief Scientist, TrustInSoft "An excellent introduction to Modern C."
--Francis Glassborow, ACCU "A really, really good C book that does not talk down to you."
--Stephan Neuhaus, @stephanneuhaus1 "An updated and relevant version of what you may be coding. I'm a fan."
--Christoff Sogon, @sogonsec
