Best practices for programming in C

EBook Description: This article has been written with the needs of the developer in mind. We have put together a set of guidelines that have served us well as developers and consultants over the years, and we offer these as suggestions that may help you in your job. You may not agree with all of them but our hope is you would like some of them and use them in your programming or porting projects.
