Applied C : an introduction and more

"Applied C: An Introduction and More provides an introduction to C programming from a "hands on" perspective. Students learn the C language and how to program through the reading and writing of basic programs early in the book. After introducing students to the basics, the authors use a spiral approach to build on concepts incrementally so that by the end students are able to write longer programs that require multiple functions. The teaching of these programming concepts is accompanied by a focus on sound program design that emphasizes the need for complete and accurate program specification as well as careful testing from the beginning." "Both Engineering and Computer Science students will find this book appealing due to the diverse blend of applications. In addition to many motivating applications throughout the text, topics are introduced with excellent background and motivation followed by accessible explanations illustrated liberally with diagrams, graphs, and short programs."--Jacket.
