Title: C literature
Post by: Jim on March 16, 2007
Here's a couple of links to suff that might be useful for learning C and the C libraries.  Most of it's applicable to C++ too.

C FAQ
http://c-faq.com/ (http://c-faq.com/)
Many pitfalls and useful tips described.

C Standard
http://www.open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG14/www/docs/n869/ (http://www.open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG14/www/docs/n869/)
This isn't quite the final version of the C99 standard, but it's free whereas the final version isn't.  PDF is the best one.  If you're interested, the ISO standard costs US$18, link in the FAQ above.

It's very technical, but it will give you an insight into the things Benny and I have been posting in Shockwave's beginner thread.  All the fine points the language are defined (or specifically not defined ;)) in here!

C USENET group
news://comp.lang.c
Lurking on this usenet forum will teach you more than you ever thought was possible to know about C.  I've learned an immense amount from posting there.  If I'm picky about things that people post, it's from 10 years of reading this forum!
