Ben Klemens about his '21st Century C' book

Great to see a book about C that includes insights and best practices the community at large has found since the more traditional textbooks were published. I may pick up the ebook version for a rainy weekend.

The title makes me cringe though. It inevitably evokes a picture of a poor sod writing a book on "20th century warfare" in 1912.

No kidding. The back of the book has a prominent blurb about Autotools. That's about as retrogressive as it gets.
