Jessica McCabe: How to ADHD (EBook, 2024, Harmony/Rodale/Convergent) No rating

Diagnosed with ADHD at age twelve, Jessica struggled with a brain that she didn’t understand. …

Seeing this acronym popping up more and more often, and also, interacting with people with this condition makes me wanna learn more about it. What is it exactly? Is it bad? Do I have anything to do with it? Regardless of the answers I'm hoping to get from the book, I'm wondering if I can take away anything from it that's applicable to me.

Jens Gustedt: Modern C (EBook, 2019, Manning) 5 stars

Modern C focuses on the new and unique features of modern C programming. The book …

Did not give me the appetite to deep dive into C projects. If anything, it further reinforced my thoughts that Rust is the future.

Nonetheless, it gives a very deep and detailed understanding of C and its quirks and features, and it is an excellent guide for those who have to or want to work with it.

For aspiring experts in C programming

5 stars

This book provides a very detailed, yet straight to the point guidance to the C programming language. Not an easy read, and numerous challenging practical exercises are awaiting the reader.

I fully recommend this book to experienced programmers with deep knowledge of multiple programming languages, who are beginners in C. This book is a must for those, who are seriously thinking about working with this language in the long term.

The highly knowledgeable author not only is an expert in this topic, but also is a member himself of the C standardization working group. Along the journey of increasingly more and more difficult chapters, he introduces common pitfalls and solutions to them, as well as necessary hacks to make your code robust.
