 		 #140452 - I am cool serious.
Responding to: ???'s previous message
I always take my studies very seriously.

When I decided to go further in C, I searched for the best available textbook of the topic. OK, not exactly C, but closely interrelated.

I am also trying to learn from the roots. The history of UNIX and C as its authors recollect it, is for example here*. Just a short quote from one of the authors of UNIX and C, on how they knew the language was mature enough:
We stopped when we got a clean compile on the following syntax:
Save This Code
for(;P("n"),R-;P("|"))for(e=3DC;e-;P("_"+(*u++/8)%2))P("| "+(*u/4)%2);

And, finally, my favourite website packed with C-masterpieces, from where I get many inspiration, is this.

Happy weekend!

JW
