Beginning Linux Programming

Rating:
Summary: UNIX and not Linux
Review: Overall, this book is okay for beginners. I have a problem with the section that covers processes/threads. Their discussion talks about UNIX details and not Linux details and completely skims over the Linux threading model. The cover of the book say "Linux" not UNIX guys.

Review: hehe...This was a great book for me. I cant recomend it for someone who has never programmed or someone who has no linux knowledge. I have -->lots<-- of experience in windex programming, mostly C, C++, VB, Basic and some others. That really helped me out with this book. Also, not all programmers like star trek or star wars or that other ****.

Summary: right to the point, concise but comprehensive.
Review: I think for some topics, even the author double the number of pages, it won't help. In the sense, putting tons of stuff inside a single volume. This book really worthes the money. no nonsense at all, and a really good place to start,and a good reference too.

Summary: excellent book for organizing ones thoughts
Review: For anyone who is just learning Linux this book is an excellent source of information and means of organizing, what on the outside may seem very ambigious.

Rating:
Summary: Pretty good, very concise
Review: overall good, easy to read wont find your self rereading parts. While its examples are short, they are that way for a reason. It covers many great topics such as electric fence and gdb a bit. The only place where the book fails a bit is X programing. Understandable though consideing volumes of books can be written on the subject.

Summary: A very good book!!!
Review: The book is very well explained and easy too understand...I recommend it to all Linux beginners

Rating:
Summary: One of the best computer books I've read
Review: I have a huge library of computer programming books and this is by far the best that I have. Evrything is very well explained. The only short coming is that it does not go into X-lib programming.

Summary: Excellent Book
Review: This book is excellent for those who have a basic understanding on ANSI C, as well as the Unix/Linux operating system, and wish to begin programming for the platform. It is well written and touches on a wide variety of subjects such as sockets, X programming, CGI, shell scripting, etc. An excellent investment!
