Extreme C: Taking you to the limit in Concurrency, OOP, and the most advanced capabilities of C

Alles ok !

This book covers all aspects of C programming in detail. It keeps surprising you with new information in every chapter. Most programming books, I tend to find is a quick browse but With this book, however you will find yourself not missing a single word. Money well spent.

I’m halfway the book and so far is great. After reading all the chapters regarding OOP in C I have a better understanding of how other languages work with inheritance, polymorphism, and overloading. If the rest of the book is this good, then it’s a solid 5 out of 5. The book is big and heavy, difficult to read in bed but you will manage. The photo is from last week. The book reads very easily. Other codebooks force you to sit in front of the computer and try stuff, the code here is very simple. No need a compiler to understand what’s happening. This is not a beginner's book. Aims to improve your knowledge about the language it's not introductory material. Start with something simple before reading it, as the videos of Jacob Sorber on youtube. This book has a similar mood. *Update after finishing the book* I finished the book and I totally recommend it. Again, not for beginners. Helps to understand concepts like fences in the chapters about concurrency and parallelism. This book explains key concepts to understand other publications like "A primer on memory consistency and cache coherence" or "Linux device drivers". The part about networking it's kind of boring compared to the rest of the book. But it goes back on track when talking about integrating C with other languages. This is a book that will help you to understand not only C but how other languages work since show you how to implement OOP or Mutexes in the lower level. Be aware that this book is strongly Linux based. The chapters on multithread do it best to show how to make them work on Mac, but due to the nature of the ecosystem, it's not as timeless as the Linux code.

Very good book. Shipped fast. The chapters on OOP in C are really strong. Would gift this book to anybody who's trying to become a C master.

In chapter 2 and I love how it walks you through the compilation steps. Yum! Good coverage and pace.
