Question
Hi,
I know C++, fairly enough, and now I want to move to C.
Is there any book which is equivalent to the Java or C++ "Effective ~" type.
And I want to learn C in a way that familarizes me to the hardware. Any books?
Thanks in advance!!

Answer
Hello Heni

If you know C++ then you already know C. C is a subset of C++.

A book that I enjoyed reading is
"Expert C programming" by Peter Van Der Linden.
It explores some of the darker areas of C.
See http://afu.com/
and http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0131774298

The C language is not specific to any hardware. There may be many types of hardware that can be programmed in C, because there are C compilers for the hardware, but each device would have its own programmer's manual.

Best regards
