Beginning Linux Programming, 3rd. Edition, Wrox, 2004

[fos]

I just acquired the newest version of Beginning Linux Programming, 3rd. Ed. by Neil Matthew and Richard Stones.

This is the third copy that I have. My daughter will now inherit the 2nd. edition. :)

This is an up to date 848 page book that covers all of the essential aspects of programming in Linux.

If you would like to follow along, join the Beginning Linux Programming thread in the programming section of this forum.

I still have an older edition, but my most favorite UNIX programming books are:

- The C programming language by Kernighan and Ritchie
- The UNIX programming environment by Kernighan and Pike
- Advanced UNIX programming by Marc J. Rochkind
- Advanced programming in the UNIX environment by Richard Stevens
- UNIX Network programming by Richard stevens
- Programming Perl by Larry Wall and others
- C++ GUI Programming with Qt3

The first five are standard works that have been used for ages, and have been released in new editions. The sixth book helps alot with doing dirty scripting. The six book is a very good start for learning GUI programming.

Thanks for dropping in Daniel

I have the complete set of K&R including:

C Programming Language
C Answer Book
C Puzzle Book
C Style

If I had to pick a language, it would definitely be Ansi C.

The Gnu C/C++ implementation is all I use.

Linux, Apache, PHP, HTML, Bash, ..... too.
