Extreme C

Push the limits of what C - and you - can do with this high-intensity guide to the most advanced capabilities of CKey FeaturesMake the most of C’s low-level control flexibility and high performanceA comprehensive guide to C’s most powerful and challenging featuresA thought-provoking guide packed with hands-on exercises and examplesBook DescriptionThere’s a lot more to C than knowing the language syntax. The industry looks for developers with a rigorous scientific understanding of the principles and practices. Extreme C will teach you to use C’s advanced low-level power to write effective efficient systems. This intensive practical guide will help you become an expert C programmer.Building on your existing C knowledge you will master preprocessor directives macros conditional compilation pointers and much more. You will gain new insight into algorithm design functions and structures. You will discover how C helps you squeeze maximum performance out of critical resource-constrained applications.C still plays a critical role in 21st-century programming remaining the core language for precision engineering aviations space research and more. This book shows how C works with Unix how to implement OO principles in C and fully covers multi-processing.In Extreme C Amini encourages you to think question apply and experiment for yourself. The book is essential for anybody who wants to take their C to the next level.What you will learnBuild advanced C knowledge on strong foundations rooted in first principlesUnderstand memory structures and compilation pipeline and how they work and how to make most out of themApply object-oriented design principles to your procedural C codeWrite low-level code that’s close to the hardware and squeezes maximum performance out of a computer systemMaster concurrency multithreading multi-processing and integration with other languagesUnit Testing and debugging build systems and inter-process communication for C programmingWho this book is forExtreme C is for C programmers who want to dig deep into the language and its capabilities. It will help you make the most of the low-level control C gives you. About the Author Kamran Amini is an expert software architect with more than 10 years of experience in the analysis design development and building large-scale distributed enterprise software systems. His skills are not limited to a specific development platform and Kamran’s architectural solutions include a variety of technologies patterns and concepts based on C and C++ Java Python etc. As an enterprise architect he’s always faced strict and risky conditions in which security performance data consistency and correctness fault tolerance and high availability authentication and authorization have always been important factors. His passion towards C and C++ has started since his teenage as a lead for his high school’s soccer simulation team and he’s just put it to be his main axis in the career. In recent years he has just attended to study astrophysics degree because of his interest in astronomy and the wonder of night sky since his childhood and he has plans to be a data scientist and machine learning expert with focus on astrophysical data. Recently blockchain and cryptocurrencies have been the target of his research and interest and because of his deep knowledge about classic cryptography and PKI working on the expansion of the future possible usages and alternative blockchains are among his interests.
