"Advanced in nature and assuming user familiarity with the C language, APPLIED C: The IBM Microcomputers gives readers programming techniques from both practical and theoretical design viewpoints. Operational software from beginning to advanced applications is developed. The emphasis is on advanced C programming techniques and examples.

With the popularity of C and its usefulness in the IBM microcomputer environment, the book covers a broad range of hardware and software topics. It also includes a thorough treatment of compatibility aspects, portable and non-portable code, and IBM microcomputer interfaces. Within the IBM microcomputer world, a certain amount of "special-purpose standardization" exists through such files as dos.h. Therefore, the text presents this material in afashion that readily demonstrates the connection between IBM hardware and requisite C code functions. Throughout, basic programming concepts are independent of operating system mode." - from Amzon
