C Programming Absolute Beginner's Guide de Greg Perry

C Programming Absolute Beginner's Guide

Autor Greg Perry, Dean Miller
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 aug 2013

Descoperim aici o abordare extrem de pragmatică încă de la primele pagini: scrierea unui fragment de cod funcțional (numit sugestiv „down-and-dirty chunk of code”) înainte de a trece la teoria abstractă. Observăm că autorii Greg Perry și Dean Miller prioritizează execuția imediată, ghidând cititorul prin funcția main() și manipularea caracterelor și numerelor într-un mod vizual, susținut de numeroase capturi de ecran. Structura cărții C Programming Absolute Beginner's Guide este organizată pentru a elimina barierele tehnice, începând cu instalarea instrumentelor necesare pe Windows, OS X sau Linux și progresând logic de la comentarea codului și utilizarea funcției printf() către concepte avansate precum pointerii și gestionarea memoriei. Merită menționat că, spre deosebire de Computer Programming in C for Beginners de Avelino J. Gonzalez, care are o structură academică adaptată cursurilor universitare, acest ghid este mai puțin abstract și mult mai aplicabil, fiind orientat spre auto-instruire rapidă. Față de Beginning C de Ivor Horton, care explorează standardele noi C23, lucrarea de față se concentrează pe stabilitatea standardului C11, oferind în plus secțiuni dedicate dezvoltării de jocuri și aplicații mobile. Această orientare practică reflectă experiența vastă a lui Greg Perry, care, spre deosebire de lucrările sale introductive generale precum Beginning Programming in 24 Hours, aici aprofundează specificul limbajului C ca fundament pentru orice carieră în programare.
