Initially I had not liked this book at all at first, so I bought Steven's Third Edition. After quite some time, I saw myself more often opening this book than Stevens book because this is much more clear, concise and the code is much more elegant and easy to read.

A fairly thorough tour through the mostly-standard UNIX system calls, with a focus on building a handful of complicated projects.
