UNIX Systems Programming: Communication, Concurrency and Threads (2nd Edition)

23 reviews
Kay A. Robbins, Steve Robbins

Prentice Hall PTR, 2003

practical it is
This is the type of book that doesn't leave you with more questions than it answers. It doesn't just discuss the concepts and then you're on your own for coding. It gives you enough code and explanation so that you can implement mutex locks, semaphores, threads, etc. It doesn't force you to go search online for code samples. I refer to this book often, and not just when writing code for Unix.
