With the same insight and authority that made their book The Unix Programming Environment a classic, Brian Kernighan and Rob Pike have written The Practice of Programming to help make individual programmers more effective and productive. This book is full of practical advice and real-world examples in C, C++, Java, and a variety of special-purpose languages. Kernighan and Pike have distilled years of experience writing programs, teaching, and working with other programmers to create this book. Anyone who writes software will profit from its principles and guidance.

Some books on algorithms are rigorous but incomplete; others cover masses of material but lack rigor. Introduction to Algorithms uniquely combines rigor and comprehensiveness. The book covers a broad range of algorithms in depth, yet makes their design and analysis accessible to all levels of readers. Each chapter is relatively self-contained and can be used as a unit of study. The algorithms are described in English and in a pseudocode designed to be readable by anyone who has done a little programming. The explanations have been kept elementary without sacrificing depth of coverage or mathematical rigor. The first edition became a widely used text in universities worldwide as well as the standard reference for professionals. The second edition featured new chapters on the role of algorithms, probabilistic analysis and randomized algorithms, and linear programming. The third edition has been revised and updated throughout. It includes two completely new chapters, on van Emde Boas trees and multithreaded algorithms, and substantial additions to the chapter on recurrences (now called "Divide-and-Conquer"). It features improved treatment of dynamic programming and greedy algorithms and a new notion of edge-based flow in the material on flow networks. Many new exercises and problems have been added for this edition. As of the third edition, this textbook is published exclusively by the MIT Press.

本书提供与C语言编程相关的全面资源和深入讨论。本书通过对指针的基础知识和高级特性的探讨，帮助程序员把指针的强大功能融入到自己的程序中去。 全书共18章，覆盖了数据、语句、操作符和表达式、指针、函数、数组、字符串、结构和联合等几乎所有重要的C编程话题。书中给出了很多编程技巧和提示，每章后面有针对性很强的练习，附录部分则给出了部分练习的解答。 本书适合C语言初学者和初级C程序员阅读，也可作为计算机专业学生学习C语言的参考。

本书详细说明、讨论UNIX程序设计界面的应用技术，包括：系统调用界面及标准C函数库。全书具有鲜明的特点：在同类书籍中内容最为丰富、实用；提供了大量应用实例，其中大部分可直接引入到相关程序设计中；界面应用和UNIX内部结构紧密结合。 　　本书全面介绍了UNIX系统的程序设计界面——系统调用界面和标准C库提供的许多函数。 本书的前15章着重于理论知识阐述，主要内容包括UNIX文件和目录、进程环境、进程控制、进程间通信以及各种I/O。在此基础上，分别按章介绍了多个应用实例，包括如何创建数据库函数库，PostScript打印机驱动程序，调制解调器拨号器及在伪终端上运行其他程序的程序等。 本书内容丰富权威，概念清晰精辟，一直以来被誉为UNIX编程的“圣经”，对于所有UNIX程序员——无论是初学者还是专家级人士——都是一本无价的参考书籍。

编写高质量的、没有bug的程序，是每位程序员所追求的目标。但随着软件规模越来越大，功能日趋复杂，这一目标变得越来越困难。 本书揭示了微软公司应对质量挑战、开发出世界级代码的技术内幕，作者在自己不断探索、实践和思考的基础上，系统总结了多年来指导微软各团队的经验，将其凝聚为许多切实可行的编程实践指导，可谓字字珠玑。正因如此，本书被公认为与《代码大全》齐名的编程技术名著，曾于1993年荣获有软件开发奥斯卡奖之称的Jolt生产效率大奖。书中内容主要针对C语言，但其中的思想对目前的各主流语言编程也完全适用。

C程序设计语言于1978年出了第一版，此后，计算机世界经历了一场革命，C语言也有了合理的变化。1988年美国国家标准学会就C语言的主义制订出了ANSI C标准。本书第二版就是按这个标准来描述C语言的。全书八章，分别分：1.指导性绪论；2.数据类型、运算符与表达式；3.控制流；4.函数与结构；5.指针与数组；6.结构；7.输入输出；8.UNIX系统界面。书后附录为：A.参考手册；B.标准库；C.语言
