“… an excellent entryway into practical software development practices … I

wished I had this book some 20 years ago … the hands-on examples … are eye

opening. I recommend this book to anyone who needs to write software beyond

the tinkering level.”

—From the Foreword by Gerhard Klimeck, Reilly Director of the Center for Predic-

tive Materials and Devices and the Network for Computational Nanotechnology

and Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Purdue University; Fellow

of the IOP, APS, and IEEE

“This well-written book provides the necessary tools and practical skills to turn

students into seasoned programmers. It not only teaches students how to write

good programs but, more uniquely, also teaches them how to avoid writing bad

programs. The inclusion of Linux operations and Versioning control as well as the

coverage of applications and IDE build students’ condence in taking control over

large-scale software developments.”

—Siau Cheng Khoo, Ph.D., National University of Singapore

“This book is unique in that it covers the C programming language from a bottom-

up perspective, which is rare in programming books. … students immediately

understand how the language works from a very practical and pragmatic per-

spective.”

—Niklas Elmqvist, Ph.D., Associate Professor and Program Director, Master of

Science in Human–Computer Interaction, University of Maryland

Intermediate C Programming provides a stepping-stone for intermediate-lev-

el students to go from writing short programs to writing real programs well. It

shows students how to identify and eliminate bugs, write clean code, share code

with others, and use standard Linux-based tools, such as ddd and valgrind. The

text enhances their programming skills by explaining programming concepts and

comparing common mistakes with correct programs. It also discusses how to use

debuggers and the strategies for debugging as well as studies the connection

between programming and discrete mathematics.
