DIAGRAMS OF DR. G. BYRON SAME AS DR. P. SELLAPAN
I am a student writing a paper which I plan to hand in, the end of this month i.e. October 2002. I noticed that Dr. P. Sellapan's book, P. Sellapan, 1999, "Object-Oriented Programming Using Visual C++ Through Examples", First Edition, Federal Publications Sdn. Bhd., Selangor, page 6-9 - ISBN 983-58-0451-6 and his other book, P. Sellapan, 2001, "C++ Through Examples Include Object-Oriented Programming", Eight Edition, Federal Publications Sdn. Bhd., Selangor, page 177-178 - ISBN 967-914-746-0 have the same diagrams as Dr. Byron's book entitiled, "Schaum's Outlines - Programming With C", 1996, Second Edition on page 371-372. So can somebody tell me, which of the authors should I reference to? I am a bit confused as to whom I should reference to!

Too good
Easy to read, lots of examples, challenging exercise problems and programming assignments - you don't ask for much more. This book can be used as a textbook or as a supplement to another book on the C programming language.You want C, you got C.

This is a really good C review book...
I hadn't used much C in a long time before needing it for a training class at work. Other than writing a few filters in C for the unix shell (which could have been done in Perl) I really hadn't written more than a couple hundred lines in a few years--as the saying goes, "use it or lose it". So I really needed a good way to brush up on the details of this elegant little language. Some C books are too clever; and it's confusing, and some are too over-simplified; and you miss crucial details. I found this book to be extremely well written, full of good detail and examples, and I felt that it served as a very good review of the language. It brought everything back into memory and even taught me some new things (like initializing automatic variables at the point of declaration with entire expressions including function calls instead of just direct assignment or const-like expressions). C is rapidly becoming a matter of antiquity, and "old school" language that probably *hurts* your resume more than helping it. However, because of Linux building with gcc, and the Solaris source code being released (with AT&T copyrights going back the Reagan/Gorbechev era!!) there is still reason why this cherished language still stands the test of time. OS X is based on FreeBSD, many browsers, interpreters and compilers are still written in C. In short, its still a major part of the world's computing infrastructure but gets ZERO respect in the commercial marketplace. However, unix programmers, legacy coders and hobbyists will still need to learn this language which is, to this day, indellibly burned in to the manual pages of unix. This book deserves to be remembered both as a good place to start, and a good place to brush up if you've fallen off the wagon for some time and need to get back on board.
