Resources

For C

• The C Programmming Language (I’ll email you a copy if this doesn’t work)
• Expert C Programming
• Beej’s Guide to C Programming and Beej’s Guide to Network Programming
• C-Faq Idioms
• Linux kernel styleguide
• Suckless coding style
  • I personally dislike the Linux kernel brace style. Instead I would recommend Stroustrup’s extension of K&R style, as it is similar to functional whitespace languages like Python

For C++

• C++ Core Guidelines
• Boost C++ Libraries

The actual C++ community at large has largely said that there's basically three "intro" or "learning" books:
- Principles and Practice Using C++ (the "College" beginner)
- C++ Primer (the I've learned to program in X already beginner) and lastly
- Accelerated C++ (the actual professional programmer and my boss said to learn C++)

Notes

• #include <stdbool.h>
• Keeping track of multiple variables is costly (HRM 22). See if you can rederive lost data when overwriting.
• Typedef structures

typedef struct {int data1;char data2;} newtype;
