Abstract
In the previous chapter, we introduced same basic information about programming and programming languages, particularly C. If this were a book about building bridges, this first chapter might have been an introduction to the tools you would need—hammer, saw, drill, etc. Obviously there is a lot more to building a good bridge than simply knowing how to use the tools.
For ‘tis the sport to have the engineer Hoist with his own petar.
Shakespeare, Hamlet
