=====================================
RiceHatOne's Best Of The Best C Books
=====================================
Version: 1.0



=====
Intro
=====
Hello everyone. Thanks for your interest in my C book collection.
This collection includes (what I think) the best book about the C
language, from beginner to advanced, and includes some handy
reference material.

Please note that the books included are hand picked, they are NOT
a collection of every sh*tful book on C ever written.



===================
UPDATES & ADDITIONS
===================
If you have recommendations for additions, please add your comment
to the comments page for this torrent on kickass.to.

If you didn't get this from kickass, any comments you post on the
respective torrent site I will not recieve.

It is my aim to make this a living, versioned torrent. I will do
my best to keep it alive, and updated. If a new edition of a book
comes out, or a new awesome book is published, I will do my best
to add it, and increment the version.

If you have better copies of any of the books here, again, please
let me know.



=============
MISSING BOOKS
=============

In a way, this torrent is also a request for some books that I am
missing:

Algorithms in C Part 5, 3rd edition, by Sedgewick
C Unleashed, 1st edition, by Heathfield
The C Puzzle Book, 2nd revised edition, by Feuer (Have 1st)
Programming Pearls, 2nd edition, by Bentley (Have first)
Writing Solid Code, 2nd edition, by Maguire (Have 1st)
The full C11 standard (Have final draft)
Learn C The Hard Way, 1st, by Shaw (Not out until 26-01-2015)
Programming In C, 4th, by Kochan (Not out until 05-09-2014)

If you have any of these, please let me know.



===================
THE BEGINNERS BOOKS
===================
I have added a lot of the highly regarded beginners/intro books.
In general, you will only need one of these. Pick one that suits
your style.

My preference is 'C Primer Plus'. It is definately a huge book,
but it is very in depth. I do recommend it. If something is not
explained clearly, check out the relevent section/chapter in one
of the other books.

I have added 'Head First', against my better judgement. It does
seem to be highly regarded, but it just doesn't suit my style.
But, different people learn in different ways, so there you have
it.

I have not added the K&R book in this section. It is good for a
reference book, the exercises are good, but the style is quite
outdated (it is from 1980), and there are a lot of additions
added by the stanards that this book quite simply won't teach you.
It is also less in depth than some of the more modern texts.



======================
THE INTERMEDIATE BOOKS
======================
If you have the time, the aptitude, the drive and the patience, I
would honestly recommend you to go through all of these. Some
of them are a little on the old side, but don't be fooled, they
are fantastic books, and there is a lot to be learned from them.
You might need to apply some 'modern c' to the concepts, but the
concepts are what most of these books are about.



==================
THE ADVANCED BOOKS
==================
The only two of these that I would call 'required' reading would
be 'algorithms in c' and 'expert c programming'.

There are better algorithm books per se, but not applied to c
specifically. There is a generic algorithm book in the general
programming folder, called 'introduction to algorithms' (It is
generally considered the defacto standard of algorithms/data
structures. If you need help with some of the concepts, check it out,
and use it alongside 'algorithms in c'.

The rest are mostly specialized applications of c, rather than
general c programming. For the most part, I would say check them out
if you have the time/interest.



===================
THE REFERENCE BOOKS
===================
In this section are quick check reference books, handy for looking
up that particular something. Also included are the C standards as
published by ISO-IEC.

Also included are some reference material for the GNU compiler
collection and c libraries. These are for GCC 4.9. If you wan't earlier
versions (sorry, I use Arch) check out GNU.org.

No clang reference material for a couple of reasons

0 - Their 'manuals' are pretty sh*ful
1 - Only html versions
2 - I use GCC
3 - GCC reference material in most cases seems to apply anyway

Check out the clang website if you need help



===================
GENERAL PROGRAMMING
===================
I have added some of my favourite general programming books to this
section. These books aren't about C programming per se, but the concepts
are good, and can be applied independantly of any language.



==============
STAY TUNED FOR
==============
Best Of The Best Assembly Books
Best Of The Best C++ Books
Best Of The Best Java Books
Best Of The Best Perl Books
Best Of The Best Python Books

And others by request/demand/popularity.



============
A FINAL WORD
============
The more feedback I get, the better, and more updated a resource I can
make this for all of us.

Thanks for your interest, and happy programming!
