Absolute Beginner’s Guide to C, 2nd Edition

Acknowledgments

My thanks go to all my friends at Sams Publishing. Most writers would refer to them as editors; to me they are friends. The acquisitions editor for the majority of my books, Stacy Hiquet, specializes in kindness and patience. Mary Inderstrodt and Matt Usher turn my questionable work into award-winning copy. Dean Miller and Gary Farrar helped developed this manuscript into something for everyone, and they managed to maintain accuracy where I failed miserably. Last but not least, Richard Swadley, the big chief who gives all the grief, deserves the final credit for the success of every book from Sams. Richard’s initial direction for every book seems to hit the bull’seye, and he knows exactly what the audience needs and wants.
