A few points FYI:
I am studying 3 books:
Books often have prefaces with Roman numbers and often also lengthy Appendices. In my calculation I include all contents that I effectively study and synthesize.
To reiterate:
These are each book's amounts of pages useful for study
CPaMA, 1Ed = 643 pages
TCPL, 2Ed = 265 pages
CSaPP 2Ed = 1019 pages
This is my progress in terms of percentage
CPaMA, 1Ed = 4.97% completion
TCPL 2Ed = 4.15% completion
CSaPP 2Ed = 0.00% completion
I am now making sure that all posts are having correct and uniform headers.
My aim is to reach at least 50% in the first 2 books and about 200 pages in the third by the end of September.
I am studying 3 books:
- C Programming: A Modern Approach, 1st Edition, by K.N.King, 1996 (CPaMA)
This is a popular, elaborate study book teaching C programming starting from scratch up to advanced level.
- The C Programming Language, 2nd Edition, by Kernighan & Ritchie,, 1988 (TCPL)
This is THE C programming classic that every C programmer must have read. It is more concise and requires some prior experience.
- Computer Systems: a Programmer's Perspective, 2nd Edition, by Bryant and O'Hallaron, 2010 (CSaPP)
This is a computer science book that explains how C interacts with the computer hardware, through the machine language level, and unto the memory addresses and transistor gates.
