Good reference for a wide range of Open Source technologies
This book is a follow-up to Beginning Linux Programming, but with a wider range of authors. The book is a series of chapters on various tools and applications, all of them Open Source, based mainly round things that application developers might use, though there is a single chapter on device drivers. Most topics only get a single chapter, so there isn't as much depth as you would find in a ...

Wrox, 2007

Great book
I bought this book 1996 when I was in high school. It was challenging, and now when I returned to it in 2006, I realize how much I skipped on my 96' reading. The great thing with this book (at least the 96 edition) is that is has such a nice flow. You will learn the concepts of Unix programming, introduced in a perfect order and pace. The source code compiles with no problems.

Apress, 2005

Great book
I ordered this book because amazon.com bundled it with « Beginning PHP and PostgreSQL 8 ». I must admit I was happily surprised. It's definitely more than a copy of the PostgreSQL manual. Explanations are simple to understand. There's a chapter on database design, something really important to me. Something that surprises me too is the big part on languages. The PostgreSQL manual focused on ...

Wrox Press, 2002

For Beginners but good
I wanted a book to get me workng with MySQL. This book was adequate and very quickly got me chugging mysql commands. Although not really administrative material, its good enough to get one familiarized with the essentials. Got some good looking tutorials and sample code to go with each one. Perfect book if you are a database newbie(the intro to databases could be invaluable) and need to manage a ...

Instant Unix

John Wiley & Sons, 1995

excellent balance of depth and breadth
instant unix is well paced, and covers enough detail to be useful beyond the introductory level. I have read two other unix books of an introductory level and instant unix is far superior, and very well organized.
