Linux® Programming Bible 8 reviews
John Goerzen
Hungry Minds, 2000
Excellent tutorial/reference on many topics
+ Good tutorial and reference. Nothing spectacular.

I am an experienced programmer, and it fills in some details about things I knew fairly well, and it helps me learn things I don't know much about. If I wanted to dig deeper, I could always get a separate book for each topic, but I ...

Charles Fischer, Richard LeBlanc
Addison Wesley, 1991
Handles a tough subject in a thorough and readable way
+ Good introduction
+ Good treatment of difficult material
