Hey guys,
I have been programming on and off in C for many years now, but I
seem to forget the format of some function calls/conventions here and there,
I might be working on something that is written entirely in assembly
language for
months.. Come back to do some C and there'll be something here and there
that escapes me.
What I am after is recommendations on a good book to keep as a reference
whenever I get mental blanks where I cant remember something, so i'll
have it there to refresh my memory. So a book that is for a
intermediate/advanced
level would be fine or any book that covers anything from the ground up
would be fine.
I am developing in C under DOS, using Watcom C and occasionally Borland C
I need a book that is available in Australia
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

A very good book on C is: "C A Reference Manual" by Harbison and Steele and now
in its 5th edition. ISBN 013089592X
and is readily available through amazon.com etc
Hope that helps

Hello. I'm looking for a good C++ reference book. I learned C++ a year
ago. It is very broad and I need something to refer to. Particularly
about syntax (using -> versus ".", etc.), using classes, C++ functions,
etc. Basically, a good overall C++ language reference.
I need a reference book. Not a "begin from scratch" instruction book,
unless there is one that is also a good reference.
Also, does anyone know of any good standard...

I'm looking for a good book on ASP.net. I'm looking for a book that builds
a project throughout the book - not disjointed examples for every chapter.
I have a book on ASP standard called "Web Application Development Using
Microsoft Visual InterDev 6.0". This book builds a website for a college.
Each chapter is a progressive stage in the building of the web site. This
is the kind of book I want for ASP.net.
Any recommendations?

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
