Welcome to the C community!

C is quirky, flawed, and an enormous success.
... When I read commentary about suggestions for where C should go, I often think back and give thanks that it wasn't developed under the advice of a worldwide crowd.
... The only way to learn a new programming language is by writing programs in it.

Almost 50 years ago, the C language defined modern computer programming. This book shows you why C is still as powerful and popular as ever, with an inside look at the new C23 standard.

For programs that need to be small, fast, and unfailingly reliable, C is still the gold standard. Whether you’re writing embedded code, low-level system routines, or high-performance applications, C is up to the challenge. This unique book by Jens Gustedt, a member of the ISO C standards committee, gets you up to speed with C23.

In Modern C, Third Edition you’ll:

  • Learn C basics, core features, and advanced concepts
  • Leverage major C23 improvements for security, reliability, and performance
  • Write portable code that runs anywhere
  • Build multi-threaded applications with atomics and synchronization
  • Create robust and resilient software with error handling
  • Use type-generic programming for reusable code

C powers more software than any other language — from embedded devices to distributed systems. In Modern C, Third Edition you’ll learn to harness C’s full potential using the latest tools and techniques. After a quick review of the fundamentals perfect for beginners or coders who haven’t used C in a while, this book guides you to mastery of C23, the latest ISO standard.
