My New book C and Data Structures:A Snap Shot Oriented Treatise Using Live Engineering Examples


My Dear Learned Friend

First, let me apologize if we (Prof NB Venkateswarlu, AITAM & Prof EV Prasad, JNTU-K Principal) are disturbing your schedule in any way. We are here to share about our recent book titled “ C and Data Structures: A Snap Shot Oriented Treatise with Live Engineering Examples” published by S Chand & Co, New Delhi.

No doubt, you will be wondering why one more title while there are many established ones. We do accept the fact that we did follow those titles during our education also. However, we wanted to bring some facts about our title to your kind notice.

0. It is included in JNTU-A, JNTU-H and JNTU-K syllabuses.

  1. This is an outcome of our experience of teaching more than 50000 (fifty thousand) students.
  2. Thus, the book is dedicated to our students.
  3. More than 1000 programs and 500 questions with answers are included. These questions include objective questions also.
  4. We have aimed at a novice or a fresh student who did not have any exposure/touch with the computer at all before opening this book. Incidentally, we do feel a large portion of our Engineering candidates comes under this category.
  5. We have experimented and employed a novel way of explaining working of a program, which we refer to “Snap Shot Oriented Learning” or “Trace based Learning ”. This is akin to human learning from the childhood. We have experimented with the thousands of students during last two decades, with such an experience we have designed our examples.
  6. Many practical engineering problems are explained and solved. See the separate attachment having list of engineering problems solved.
  7. C coding practices which are employed in the Industry are also discussed.
  8. The book is forwarded by the eminent personalities in the field.

Please do see the enclosed leaflet having other silent aspects of the book along with contents.

Publisher would be glad if you can respond with your postal address and courses which you teach to arrange a review copy for you. You may find publishers details in the brochure to order. However, Mr. Bisht 9391326155 bisht_hyd@hotmail.com will be of help for any aspects related to availability of the book.

We would be delighted if you can intimate about this title to your colleagues and pals.

With best wishes
