[edit] Newer book reviews/information
My interest in Schildt is completely historical. He is a significant figure in the early IBM PC and MS-DOS days, and that's why I wanted to present historical information about him. His books helped a generation to learn PC programming, and that's the main reason for the entry here, to better document this era for researchers.
If anyone is familiar with Schildt's current (post-2000) books and work, and would like to comment, it would help bring the article up to date. I do not have and don't want to have his modern Java, C#, etc books. I have seen his latest C: The Complete Reference and it's almost the same 1990 book I already have, plus a few random chapters thrown in from his other books.
