Although Osman downplays the C tutorial aspects of the book, it does present a
solid, albeit fairly condensed, precis of the basics.  His primary concern with
standards and portability makes for a good structured curriculum:  the two
aspects are integrated in a seamless whole.
 
The coverage of system concerns and other commercial development factors *is*
present, and *is* effective.  Oddly, though, topics do not show up in the
problems and exercises at the end of the chapter.  Otherwise, the questions are
quite good, being much superior to the all-too-common reading quizzes.
