C for Java Programmers takes a unique approach to teaching C to readers already familiar with Java: it presents C by construct, so readers learn the inner workings of the language, and also by problem, so readers become aware of what the language can accomplish. Throughout, the author takes advantage of readers' prior programming experience in the Java environment by making connections between the two languages to relate how different functionalities and tools can arrive at the same solution. As such, topics like explicit storage allocation, "unsafe" pointers, and coding and debugging discipline become increasingly important. Sections on things to remember and common errors also reinforce knowledge of C language features, and numerous executable sample programs and end-of-chapter exercises enhance understanding.
