Learning C with K.N.N.'s book.

C Programming: A Modern Approach

I've always wanted to learn C in detail, plus I have an interest in embedded systems. So, in my quest for knowledge, I stumbled with this beautiful book written by K. N. King. C is an old language developed in the early 1970s at Bell Laboratories by Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie, and others. C has grown a long way and is still quite popular for a number of applications:

• Language Compiler Design
• Operating System Design
• Embedded Systems
• GUI Design
• Drivers
• Programming Languages Desing
• Etc.

Advantages

• Efficiency
• Portability
• Power
• Flexibility
• Standard library
• Integration with UNIX

Disadvantages

• Error-prone
• Complexity
• Difficult to modify other's programs

Final note

With this repository, I hope to share with you my journey into C. Hopefully, you'll learn something too. Feel free to ask questions or give feedback.
