C for dummies

How is the book, is it good for learning C?

It is worthless for learning Scheme.

Seconded, I threw it out of the window because it was so useless.

By pure coincidence the Sussman was walking by; I saw him pick up the book and he had a kind of smug look on his face. Then he summoned a huge snake which ate the book. Just after that the snake ran amok and killed my second neighbour because he hadn't read his SICP today.

Anyway, shit sucks, don't get this book.

goddam what the fuck is wrong with you people

Anything "for dummies" is patronising and useless. Don't do it, OP!

I have learned HASKELL from ``FP for Dummies''.

He makes useless topics and randomly posts something he wants to force.

No, >>1 the book is not good for learning C. The book is so bad it doesn't even talk about C, rather, some language that looks like C.

So there I was, 18 years old, having been raised on a toxic stew of MS-BASIC, Apple II assembly and some MPW Pascal. My mind was poisoned. Everything I knew about programming was wrong. I read book after book on programming and CS, but none of them really seemed to make a real dent in my style.

Enter C For Dummies. In a few months, this book reshaped my concept of what it meant to program a computer. It does not spend time teaching a language; C is presented precisely because its syntax and commands can be covered in about ten minutes, and its structure becomes absolutely transparent within a few days of looking at C code. It does not spend time walking the reader through common coding tasks, as a Learn X In 24 Hours text might.

C For Dummies teaches the fundamentals of programming mastery. Abstraction, modularity, design paradigms, compilation and interpretation, and more topics are presented in a style which is exactly as simple as it can be, and no simpler. C allows these topics to be covered without becoming mired in details which would otherwise plague the implementer.

It will not show you how to write a GUI, scrape a web page, develop a social networking website or create a network server. It will, however, guide a dedicated reader through an exploration of immensely powerful programming technique, and it will prepare the reader to solve any problem in any language for the future.

C For Dummies is not a machine gun, putting power into casual hands. It is a light saber, rewarding discipline and practice with unstoppable capability.

I was extremely pleased with this comic, good sir.

>>12
Why yes it is!
>>14
Please don't say such things, it makes me sad :( I'd never associate my comics with the OP.

>>18
Why? It doesn't involve haxing anii.

/prog/ needs more original art. You and the EXPERT MUSICIAN are doing some very good things.

My contribution to this thread is that so many people use C++ now, most of them just say C even when they mean C++.

>>21
How dare you post an on-topic reply, I'm going to hax your anus.

>>26
Wow, so funny.

You know, this thread sucks. Not just because of >>1, but because of the other posts by faggots like >>1. So, why aren't we saging?

/prog
I see something, and it's quite similar to what you did there.

>>29
A mere failure not worth spotting.

You fucking failed at impersonating me once more. Here's my fucking lesson to you for today:
Even when I post all-caps posts, email field is still "sage". SAGE does nothing.
