I'm in the situation of having to learn C after a number of years as a programmer, then for the last 8 years doing networks (but no programming other than configuring PCs, and an occasional GWBASIC routine). Background: Learned Fortran and Cobol in high school & college. Data General assembler from 1974-1983. 8080/Z80 assembler and some basic (Altair & Imsai CP/M, including writing my own BIOS) MSDOS basic (still have my copy of MSDOS 1.1 !) Currently have a 386/40 with msdos 6.22 and Win 3.11 HP 1000 real-time Fortran Z80 macro assembler and multi-tasking embedded systems (up to 20,000+ lines in one system) I have K&R ver 1 and 2, and I was given a copy of Turbo C ver 3, along with Ivor Horton's "The Beginners Guide to C" and "C, A Reference Manual" by Samuel Harbison & Guy Steel Jr. I'd like suggestions as to what books to go out and purchase, and what other s/w and books to go out and get. Email responses are preferred - I'm at the tail end of a limited feed, and the local spool ages rapidly. Many thanks in advance. -- Mike Morris morris@grian.cps.altadena.ca.us #include <disclaimer.std.h> I have others, but this works the best.
