Robert J. Traister: Mastering C pointers :tools for programming power (1990, Academic Press)

Review of 'Mastering C pointers :tools for programming power' on 'Goodreads'

Unlike what is claimed in the title, you don't "master" C pointers by reading this book, you can just expect to learn the basics. The examples are fairly good but mostly outdated and basic, and it can't satisfy the expectations of experienced programmers.

Naveen Toppo: Pointers in C (2013, APress)

Review of 'Pointers in C' on 'Goodreads'

Literally an awful book. There a lot of typos in the English writing, there a lot of mistakes in the code examples, even sometimes the code and its output are not right, and they are inconsistent. I don't recommend this book. Next I'm planning to read "Mastering C Pointers" by Robert J. Traister to see how it is, and I'll write a review of that too.
