Can anyone recomend a good intoduction to C...

[Werner Schiendl]

The string module and methods are a perfect example that it is somewhat hard
to have _only_ one passibility of doing things.
What is perfectly fine and state-of-the-art today will probably look poor
and old fashioned in some years.

But I agree that there should be at least one _obvius_and_easy_ way to
perform every task.
