Summary:This text meets the needs of most employers for students adequately trained to be effective problem-solvers. Thus, important features of this new edition are troubleshooting techniques at the end of each chapter and Ken Koder scenarios describing typical job situations. Working with employers and academics teaching C programming, the authors believe that this book will better prepare students for success in their jobs.
The companion CD-ROM contains all of the source and executable files for every programming example in the book. In addition, a free 32-bit C/C++ compiler is also included, which will allow the student to begin writing and compiling code as quickly as possible.
