Professional Linux Programming (Programmer to Programmer) 1 review
Jon Masters, Richard Blum
Wrox, 2007
Good for beginning... if you know your basics.
I bought this book hoping to familiarize myself with some of the more common methods of programming for the Linux system. The book does a fairly good job of explaining the Linux kernel, as well as introducing the basics of OpenGL and SDL for graphics. I felt that the networking section of the book ...

Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment, Second Edition (Addison-Wesley Professional Computing Series)1 review
W. Richard Stevens, Stephen A. Rago
Addison-Wesley Professional, 2008
Great that it's now available in paperback!
Three years ago, this second edition was released in hardcover. A worthy and needed updating of the first edition. Now this paperback edition is made available. The cheaper cost will benefit some readers. Its reputation as one of the standard unix texts means that many unix and linux programmers ...

UNIX Systems Programming: Communication, Concurrency and Threads (2nd Edition)23 reviews
Kay A. Robbins, Steve Robbins
Prentice Hall PTR, 2003

Bil Lewis, Daniel J. Berg, ...
Prentice Hall PTR, 1997
Wonderful!
The authors of this book, in addition to their knowledge of threads, also know how to teach. The only shortcoming I could point out is that certain topics are treated shallowly, while less important topics are explained with too much detail. What's really interesting about the book is the authors' ...

Neil Matthew, Richard Stones
Wrox, 2007
Great book
+ Excellent coverage of all bases
+ Really a good book for begginner
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, ...
