Having published my first book last October, I plead guilty to checking the stats on Amazon, perhaps a bit too often. The good in it is that it also gives me the opportunity to look for books that would be interesting for myself. This was when I came across the “Understanding and Using C Pointers: Core Techniques for Memory Management” by Richard M Reese. The first thought was “why would someone write an entire book on a thing like pointers?” But then, thinking to myself that books are not written for merely having been written, I took a glance at the free sample and took some time to read the comments.
