Haven't seen that one. But in general my favourite writer's style
is that of Donald Alcock, in his "Illustrating ..." series. I had
the good fortune to work for him (as a summer job while at
university - I learnt more in that 2 months than in most of the
rest of the 4 years :-) That was when he was a civil engineer more
than he was an author - but even then his writing style was unique
and just plain fun.
Writing in the first person, informal style for a reference manual
for a stress analysis package was something of a breakthrough. And
his insistence that hand-lettered text (almost calligraphy) was
easier to read than printed text, and made the info easier to
understand, was not something I was likely to learn in a university
CS course.
So I would definitely recommend "Illustrating C".
Thanks for that tip, Alex!
Simply great!! (that´s really brainfriendly learning)
I had a lok at this book at Amazon. I understoond in a few minutes,
why you have learned more from this guy in 2 month, than from others
in years...
Thanks again!
