Rating:  Summary: Very happy with this. Review: It actually goes through examples and then puts it all together into something you can relate to everyday use. If you are wondering how to utilise you linux box for something other than just routing, this book will teach you.
Rating:  Summary: Best out of the best Review: I did not have any clue about Unix before I read this book. Now I can talk with Unix Programmer on the same level. Just great book.
Rating:  Summary: Enough to get you going Review: This book was excellent for its intentions. It provided the basic information needed to get up and programming quickly, without all the unnecessary details. It gives you enough information to get the job done without having to wade through all the fluff.
Rating:  Summary: Lots of breadth! Review: This book has a lot of interesting topics, including interprocess communication. I felt that the authors gave you a great introduction to these topics and enough information to find the correct man pages and what to look for in purchasing further references.I found this book to be a great help to me in my use of Linux, and also for programming tasks. I was already an intermediate user and beginning programmer and it has helped me become a better programmer. The only problem is you will want to learn more and drop lots of money on follow up reading.
Rating:  Summary: Great Book! Review: This book is great! Go out and get it right now... I loved it.... After I read it I was ready to tackle such tough topics as FIFOs, sockets, CGI programming,etc.... A great book!
Rating:  Summary: the best in my Linux book collection Review: This is the best Linux book I've read. Comprehensive, to the point, and very well organized.
Rating:  Summary: The best linux/unix programmers reference I have! Review: This book has proved indespensable as a reference for common linux programming tasks. The author covers many important topics in a clear and consise style. One very nice thing is a large selection of example programs that illustrate and reinforce th ecovered topics. I use this book almost daily, and it has become one of my main references.
Rating:  Summary: This one is a winner. Review: This is an excellent text for someone with a smattering of C in a non-Linux/non-Unix environment, such as MS C in DOS or Windoze, who wishes to acquire the ability to work with GCC in Linux. It actually makes sense in a very practical way. (by) David Fisher, Fisher Research Corporation
Rating:  Summary: Buy this book ASAP Review: This book is the best computer book I have ever read, all categories. Can be used both as a reference and a tutorial. Manages to cover so many aspects of Linux programming in such a clear and concise way that you will feel clever just having read it because you understood it all. Deserves it's '10'.
Rating:  Summary: Everything a Unix/Linux Programmer Could Want To Know. Review: This is most definitely a book I was looking for for a long time. Most Unix/Linux books either baby you through it or dive too deep into the topic. This book is *perfect* for people that understand how Unix (Linux) works, but do not how to *make* it work. This teaches you what you need to know in order to take control of the system and produce the results you want. This is the top book in this subject.
