My first C/C++ Teachers

This is my tribute to the people whom I learned and helped me understand C/C++.. although i'm not that great with it unlike MisterClay(he was my college buddy) whom i consider to be a totem pole when it comes to C and C++!!!

This are authors who created great books that i have read back when i was in college... and still have their books as part of my library.

Bjarne Stroustrup:  description taken from Wikipedia "...invented C++, wrote its early definitions, and produced its first implementation... chose and formulated the design criteria for C++, designed all its major facilities, and was responsible for the processing of extension proposals in the C++ standards committee". i bought a used copy of his book from an old book store in Manila and i consider it to be one of my greatest investments ever. Also check his personnal site.. you'll find alot of good articles and tips on C/C++.

Al Kelly and Ira Pohl: they couple of books together and all of them are gems on any C/C++ developers chest. Their book C by Dissection was the first book that we used in school and i believe it is still the book being used by students from my alma mater.

Dennis Ritchie and Brian Kernighan: DMR was the father of C language. their book The C Programming Language which was the first book released about C was my definitive guide when i started doing C projects in my Intro To Programming language subject in my First Year College. Almost everybody in the class including me has this book.

Please feel free to add more of notable authors and people that you could say that has channeled or influenced you in a way or two when it comes to programming in C or C++. Thanks!
