Effective C, 2nd edition, is an introduction to essential C language programming that will soon have you writing programs, solving problems, and building working systems.

The latest release of the C programming language, C23, enhances the safety, security, and usability of the language. This second edition of Effective C has been thoroughly updated to cover C23, offering a modern introduction to C that will teach you best practices for writing professional, effective, and secure programs that solve real-world problems.

C is used as a target language for compilers to build operating systems, to teach fundamentals of computing, and for embedded and general-purpose programming. There is a large amount of legacy code written in C. The C standards committee is extremely careful not to break existing code, providing a smooth pass for modernizing this code to take advantage of modern language features. C is often used in embedded systems because it is a small and efficient language. Embedded systems are small computers that are embedded in other devices, such as cars, appliances, and medical devices.

Your favorite programming language and library are written in C (or were at one time). There are many libraries available for C. This makes it easy to find libraries that can be used to perform common tasks. Overall, C is a powerful and versatile language that is still widely used today. It is a good choice for programmers who need a fast, efficient, and portable language.

Effective C is a true product of the C community. Robert C. Seacord, a long-standing member of the C standards committee with over 40 years of programming experience, developed the book in collaboration with other C experts, such as Clang’s lead maintainer Aaron Ballman and C project editor JeanHeyd Meneide. Thanks to the efforts of this expert group, you’ll learn how to:

Develop professional C code that is fast, robust, and secure
Use objects, functions, and types effectivel
Safely and correctly use integers and floating-point types
Manage dynamic memory allocation
Use strings and character types efficiently
Perform I/O operations using C standard streams and POSIX file descriptors
Make effective use of C’s preprocessor
Debug, test, and analyze C programs

The world runs on code written in C. Effective C will show you how to get the most out of the language and build robust programs that stand the test of time.

New to this edition: This edition has been extensively rewritten to align with modern C23 programming practices and leverage the latest C23 features.

Who This Book Is For:
This book is an introduction to the C language. It is written to be as accessible as possible to anyone who wants to learn C programming, without dumbing it down. In other words, we didn’t overly simplify C programming in the way many other introductory books and courses might. These overly simplified references will teach you how to compile and run code, but the code might still be wrong. Developers who learn how to program C from such sources will typically develop substandard, flawed, insecure code that will eventually need to be rewritten (often sooner than later). Hopefully, these developers will eventually benefit from senior developers in their organizations who will help them unlearn these harmful misconceptions about programming in C and help them start developing professional-quality C code. On the other hand, this book will quickly teach you how to develop correct, portable, professional-quality code; build a foundation for developing security- critical and safety-critical systems; and perhaps teach you some things that even the senior developers at your organization don’t know.

Effective C: An Introduction to Professional C Programming, 2nd edition, is a concise introduction to essential C language programming that will soon have you writing programs, solving problems, and building working systems. The code examples are idiomatic and straightforward. You’ll also learn about good software engineering practices for developing correct, secure C code.
