Summary: Fantastic
Review: "Understanding Unix/Linux Programming" takes an interesting approach trying to show the principles of Unix programming, it analyses the shell commands using three steps:I. use the command II. find information about the command III. create the command using C language and the standard library Thus, it doesn't only teach Unix/Linux programming it presents a way of thinking and solving a problem using the available information someone can obtain from man pages.

Summary: EXCELLENT
Review: Excellent book to understand the basics of UNIX/Linux system programming. The author makes no assumptions about your knowledge level and walks you through the topics slowly. The book doesnt' go too deep into threads, but that's a deep topic which deserves a book on its own. The code samples work, too. Bruce Molay wrote an excellent book!!!!

Summary: The book is as excellent as class
Review: There are lots of Unix books, but this is the first one combining practical training with foundational Unix programming theory consistently. I happen to be enrolled in Prof. Molay 's Unix Programming class when this wonderful book was published in Jannary. The book covers all of class's material plus couple of chapters for the reading. Prof Molay brings the fundamentals of Unix Programming to a new light. His clear presentation helps us to master the material in an efficient way. The book is suitable for students both at beginning and professional levels. Besides, the CSCIE 215 (Unix Programming) class offered by Harvard Extension School has online option for people working full time. Online registration is as easy as 1-2-3.

Summary: The book is as excellent as class
Review: There are many Unix books, but this is the first one combining the practical training with fundamental theory in a consistent way. I happened to be enrolled in his class when this wonderful book was published in Jan 2003. Prof Molay brings the fundamentals of Unix Programming to a new light. His clear presentation helps us understand the theory of Unix programming in an efficient way. The book is suitable for students both at beginning and professional levels. Good C experiences preferred. Also the class offered each spring term has distance study option for those who have full time job.

Summary: Excellent Introduction to Unix System Programming
Review: This is the best Unix system programming book I've ever read. Some other books also cover the topic well, but they are more like manuals. This one is definitely more readable and explains how things works more clearly. Although it's not cheap, I feel this book worth those $$.
