Now I just purchased this book solely based on this one review - oh, how my eyes were watering, I "feel you bud - double heart tap and salute tap thingy"... https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07XYX6FQL/?pldnSite=1 anyway, if you know, you know why I love this review.... the best part is, well all of it: click on the image to zoom in to the text. I applaud you Sir, and I eagerly await the delivery of my copy of the book....  and it arrived, just in time for the weekend!  wow! it's got some girth! 800+pages....

Frank, I doff my cap to you Sir, awesome find and very relevant!

Want to have a quick walk through the history of the C programming language, my history, look at some beards and then look at some C code written for the Atari ST (on a Mac) and then compiled and linked/built on an Atari ST (emu) and run to prove it works? Well, if you do (and the thought of bearded middle aged C programmers, is your thing): CLICK HERE TO READ MORE

Well, you could have done this previously ( of course ), but is is sooooooo nice to see that this has become more mainstream. If, like me, you have played around with Arduino ( for many many years! ), then you most likely were coding in C.  Then the Raspberry Pi came out and everyone was excited, yay! it was a mini-Linux 'puter that could do stuff with GPIO pins ( or not ), but a vast majority of the code you found was for Python. Begrudgingly, I did actually use some Python to control my Maplin robotic arm from a web page, which worked and the code did make sense.  But, and this is a big BUT, I don't know, maybe I'm old skool, I just didn't LIKE coding in Python.  It felt like Perl ( now who remembers that nightmare from the early 2000s!!! ), it allowed you to do a lot of stuff and you could hack stuff together, but come back in 6 months time and you were none the wiser.  Don't even think about picking up code from someone else! Anyway, I digress, through a ...
