Amazon's Best Computer Books of 2004

theodp writes "Amazon.com's Editors have announced their selections for the Best Books of 2004 in the Computers and Internet category. Their favorite book of the year? Excel Hacks, which edged out Head First Servlets & JSP (#3), a Grand Theft Auto Strategy Guide (#5) and The Data Warehouse ETL Toolkit (#8). Can Slashdot readers offer some more inspired choices?"

Question about C book.

[slapout]

OK, I know this is off topic, mod me down if you want.

I decided to learn JavaScript and picked up a copy of "JavaScript:The Definitive Guide". Turns out it goes into detail about how the language works behind the scenes. Which isn't really what I was looking for. But I remember thinking, it would be cool to read a book like that about C. Can any one recommend a book that discusses more about how C works behind the scenes like the Javascipt book does?

Why is it any good?

I am not a subscriber to "Out" but my friends tell me it is a good look into the lifestyle of males who have cast aside any qualms about how society will view them, and are proud to say the least.

Are you an annual subscriber?

We are talking about books still right? From your nick I can see it must be a top-shelf publication.

OK, you are right, I do need fresh air :-) :-) :-)
