Summary

C Unleashed is a very comprehensive book on the ANSI C programming language. This book promotes solid, portable programming using ANSI C, thus benefiting programmers on any platform, including mainframes. Covers the New Standard for C, known as C9X, and includes embedded systems, simulation processing, threading and multiprocessing, digital signal processing, and natural language processing.

Author Bio

Richard Heathfield is a software consultant in the UK and director and chairman of Eton Computer Systems, Ltd. He has been programming with the ANSI C programming language commercially for almost 10 years. His experience includes writing a Y2K diagnostic engine, network synchronization software, code generators, testing tools and two Executive Information Systems. He specializes in writing across-platform software. In his spare time, he is working on a custom Internet/LAN applications for small-to-medium sized business based on a UDP/IP communications wrapper. Lawrence Kirby is a graduate of Cambridge University in England and has been programming with ANSI C for 10 years, mainly on communication and financial data related systems. He has contributed extensively to comp.lang.c and comp.std.c over the years, gaining a thorough knowledge of the language, closely following the development of the new C9X standard. He is considered one of the gurus of C and now the new C9X.
