Epilogue

And the final words ...

If you are reading this, it means that our journey has come to an end! We went through several topics and concepts as part of this book, and I hope that the journey has made you a better C programmer. Of course, it cannot give you the experience; you must obtain that by working on various projects. The methods and tips we discussed in this book will ramp up your level of expertise, and this will enable you to work on more serious projects. Now you know more about software systems, from a broader point of view, and possess a top-notch knowledge about the internal workings.

Though this book was heavier and lengthier than your usual read, it still could not cover all the topics found within C, C++, and system programming. Therefore, a weight remains on my shoulders; the journey is not yet done! I would like to continue to work on more Extreme topics, maybe more specific areas, such as Asynchronous I/O, Advanced Data Structures, Socket Programming...
