Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

WEB is a software system that facilitates the creation of readable programs. It was originally developed by Donald E. Knuth as he programmed the TeX typesetting system. Users of WEB are able to

Write programs of superior quality;
Produce state-of-the-art documentation;
Greatly reduce debugging time;
Maintain programs easily as conditions change.

CWEB is a version of WEB for documenting C and C++ programs. WEB was adapted to C by Silvio Levy in 1987, and since then both Knuth and Levy have revised and enhanced the system in many ways, notably to support C++ and ANSI C. Thus CWEB combines TeX with two of today's most widely used professional programming languages.

This book is the definitive user's guide and reference manual for the CWEB system. The CWEB software itself is freely available via anonymous ftp from labrea.stanford.edu on the Internet.

Not at all what I expected...

ByTODDCSon December 9, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I am an ardent admirer of Knuth and his Literate Programming methodology.
But this book was not at all what I expected.
I was hoping for a book chock full of examples and explanations on how to *use* the CWEB Literate Programming system.
Instead, what I got was essentially a printout of the CWEB system source code (and an old version at that!), and the very terse and dense user manual -- all of which are anyway available as a completely free download off the Internet.
Yes, it is nice to have all that in a printed and bound format.
But I was really hoping for and expecting something more user-oriented, the type of book you would get from O'reilly, Manning, or Wrox. And I am disappointed that what I got was nothing of the kind.
