And Richard said that you are not in the position to decide who is an expert.


But he's not a million miles from the truth.


Agreed, Richard is close to the truth.

I don't think, only a teacher can judge another teacher; even a
poor student can evaluate a teacher. I hope, I'm stupid enough to
guess at least. Also, I think, my past 3 years of constant touch with
CLC is suffice enough (IMHO).

I'd rather have you pissed off and thinking for yourself than happy
and spoon fed.


You're harping on the positive influence of "hurts". Yes, hurts have
yielded Gandhi, and also Hitler & Eminem. I think, it is wrong to
guess you're making Gandhis.

If your children ask fish on fasting day, you won't give snake to
teach about the values of fasting. You can't p*s* off at your
children, but you p*s* off at others only because you don't consider
them as at least a humanbeing.

I know a good expert on comp.os.msdos.programmer, his name is
Alexander Russell. He has changed so many clueless newbies into
thinkers by his unique kind approach.

Thanks a lot for spending more time on mending the material. I
would have been much better if you post such bugs in it's own bug
reporting corner. Anyway, thanks a lot for your great time and
comments.

(snip further criticism)

This book also claims to be for learners, and to concentrate on ANSI C.
But then, right after Chapter I, it goes *very* deep into MS-DOS land
(the inner workings of MS-DOS, no less, not its C API) and assumes that
the whole world is Turbo C++ 3.0 (which IMO also is obsolete these
days). If (as the authors say) "C programming means ANSI C", why is
over two-thirds of the book MS-DOS-specific?

In closing, this is a book I would not recommend to anyone. You're
better off with K&R2.


I guess 2 reasons for your jottings: 1. You didn't read the material
fully (It never claims it as ANSI C book), 2. You intentionally
prefered to shame me.

If even K&R and C unleashed can be suffixed with errata, "A to Z of
C" has no exception. I hope, the book will evolve in it's own way, but
the journey is quite long (that I know)

One thing I have to tell you: *certainly* I'm not interested in
any flame war. Please re-read what I said and what you've replied, and
then decide about the tosser.

Come on--your book is worse than rubbish. It wasted my time, is
erroneous in many places, and doesn't provide ANY useful information to
a beginner... encrypting with XOR? give me a break.

IMHO you'd be much better off, and do your Indian compatriots a
great service, by removing what is laughably called "A to Z of C" from
the web. It's more like "A rotten reference to C". I applaud the
effort, but it's fourteenth-rate at best.
