Summary: The only book you'll ever need for Unix programming.
Review: This book has helped me a lot in my technical career. I've used it extensively in mission critical projects. There's no way these projects would have succeeded if not for this book.

Summary: This Book is A Must Read!
Review: Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment is one of the best programming books that I have read. Chapters 7 and 8 are outstanding. The book would be worth it just for either of those chapters alone. Surprisingly enough, though, the section which I have referred to the most is 6.9, which discusses date and time routines in C/UNIX; 6.9 is a critical reference on date-time issues. This is truly one of those rare books that you could read multiple times, and it would be worth the time and effort to do so. A good reader will often want to quarrel or wrestle with the observations of a writer; that is not true with this book. With Stevens as the writer, you as the reader will KNOW that he clearly has a complete, total, and utter mastery of this subject; and you, as the reader, will feel compelled to simply learn everything you can that this man has to say about UNIX and C. I highly recommend this book.

Summary: The best book since The UNIX Programming Environment (1978)
Review: Not only does this tell you everything there is to know about the fine points of UNIX process programming (especially if you don't have source) code, but it also covers THREE versions of UNIX. People keep borrowing my copy and I never get to read it myself !!!

Summary: Good for Any Language
Review: When one normally thinks of advanced UNIX programming, one thinks of C. However, Stevens explanations of the concepts are so clear cut it's easy to adapt the material to other programming environments. My first experience with process groups/signals/forking and waitng was with Perl 5.0 and this book. A great read from a real authority.
