Review: Learn to code in up-to-date C and be treated like a professional - This is a preliminary review to ameliorate the existing, totally undeserved, rating on desertcart.co.uk for the kindle version. I wanted a book to support learning modern C, as most of the other books are either dated or lightweight (I am no dummy; I am an IT - non coding - professional). One of the early pains for me is knowing the most effective way to set up the environment. This book certainly helps with that. My motivation for learning C is primary to code embedded systems. A side-benefit is that C can be used almost anywhere to underpin other high level languages. C provides the necessary middleware between the operating system/hardware and these high level languages. For instance, I use F#. When I want to accesses the hardware on a Raspberry Pi, say using Wiring Pi, I have to interface with C bindings. Review: Good if you already know C - it helps you write cleaner and more maintainable code. Recommended. - Good if you already know C - it helps you write cleaner and more maintainable code.

Recommended. *by M***R on 30 September 2017* Good if you already know C - it helps you write cleaner and more maintainable code. Recommended. ### ⭐⭐ I am requesting a refund. *by D***R on 11 September 2017* I do not agree with the 1 star review - C is not dead. I do not agree with the 5-star reviews - this is not a good book. I learnt C 25 years ago, and am still using ANSI C. I thought this book would teach me tricks from the 99 or 2011 standards, but is to mainly an overview of vaguely useful tools (git / editors / makefiles). There is not even a mention for Variable Length Arrays in the index. The coverage of OpenMP is less than 2 pages - which is nowhere near enough to even explain the difference between shared and private variables - never mind the problems with synchronisation. Overall, a very misleading title. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/54852933-21st-century-c](https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/54852933-21st-century-c) --- *Product available on Desertcart Thailand* *Store origin: TH* *Last updated: 2026-05-01*
