Great book for those who wish to go beyond the basics of C

I had picked up Mr. Holzner's "Assembly Language for Pascal Programmers" a year ago and found that his method of presenting and explaining working examples to be easy to follow and insightful. But he used a lot of comparison to Pascal code which I knew little about, being someone who only knew the basics of C/C++.So I got this book and am delighted in actually learning C beyond the basics of variables, pointers, flow control, structures, etc. (which he covers quickly in chapter 1). My only complaint is that chapters 7 and 8 are pretty much a rehash of the same material in the Pascal book mentioned above, but it's still a great introduction to 80x86 assembly.There are three main topics covered in the book: The C library, advanced C techniques and assembly (with inline assembly and linking assembly funtions with C object files).The chapters areCh. 1 - C From Ordinary to ExtraordinaryCh. 2 - File HandlingCh. 3 - GraphicsCh. 4 - DatabasingCh. 5 - C and MemoryCh. 6 - Debugging CCh. 7 - Welcome to Assembly LanguageCh. 8 - An Assembly PrimerCh. 9 - Interfacing Assembly Language to CCh. 10 - Assembly Language Expertise
