A new and improved revision of the bestselling C language reference. This essential manual introduces the notion of "Clean C," writing C code that can be compiled as a C++ program, and incorporates the ISO C Amendment 1 (1994) which specifies new facilities for writing portable, international programs in C.
The only book you ever have to have
| Customer Rating: | There is no comparison, this book is *it*, nothing else comes close!!
27 years of C programming, and this is the *only* C book I refer to;
this book clarifies the finer/finest points of C language grammar;
not for the novice, unless the novice wants to become *very good*.
2 thumbs up and 5+ stars.

Nice Book
| Customer Rating:  | | This book contains nice layout of information on C Programming. A nice reference to have. |
Best book on C99
| Customer Rating: | | Whilst I feel that K&R is a classic for C(89/90), it doesn't cover C99 at all. This is where Harbison takes over. It isn't quite in the same concise style. But it does serve well as both a clear description of the language and a reference. It's much easier to read than the ISO C 99 standard (which is also on my desk). |
The Best
| Customer Rating: | | This is the best reference on C out there. Yes, it is better than K&R, despite what others say. It is better organized, and has very concise examples on everything that may need explaining. |
Simply Indespensible
| Customer Rating: | Compiler writers know a language the best, and H & S are compiler guys.
This book is within reach every time I work with C. It treats you like an adult - you can find the terms "scope", "visibility", and "extent" in the index - and the better you are with language theory, the better the book gets.
I have taught C at in-house classes at work and I gave the students copies of H & S, telling them that giving them this book was the best thing I was going to do for them during the entire course.
