Advanced Linux Programming by Alex Samuel, Mark Mitchell, Codesourcery

tlockney's review

4.0

Good, if somewhat flawed, introduction to "advanced" systems/application programming in Linux. You should definitely have at least some background in C development before trying to tackle this book. That said, it's not really that advanced, despite the name. However, it does collect a lot of good information into one place that would otherwise require tracking down lots of how-tos, tutorials, manpages, etc. to get the full picture. Not to say it presents the full picture -- but for the concise size of the book, it does a pretty good job.
