Memory as a programming concept in C and C++

What Hacker News says

   "Memory as a Programming Concept in C and C++" was a helpful book for me. I'd stick to C as C++ is kinda kludgy syntactically with higher level constructs and they're not key to lower-level stuff anyway.

   After that, you might look into Rust. I don't have any particular recommendations; there was/is an introductory text online by the original Rust developer I found helpful. Rust is sort of hyped the last few years, but there's good reason for it, and its approach to memory builds well on classic C-like ideas.

   I researched this same question back in 2011. One of the most recommended books is "Memory as a Programming Concept in C and C++":

   A rather expensive book but stellar reviews. I borrowed it from the library. It's very concise too.

   For C++ a lot of people still recommend "Accelerated C++":

   http://www.amazon.com/Accelerated-C-Practical-Programming-Ex...

   because it teaches you "canonical" C++ instead teaching you "C with classes," which seems to be a common complaint among veteran C++ programmers. It's very readable too.

   I'm going to pick up "Writing Great Code":

   http://www.amazon.com/Write-Great-Code-Understanding-Machine...

   because it explains computer architecture. Once you start programming in C/C++ you are much closer to the metal and having an understanding of the architecture will lead to better choices.
