Advanced Linux Programming, Portable Documents

by Alex Samuel, CodeSourcery, Jeffrey Oldham

This is the eBook version of the printed book. If the print book includes a CD-ROM, this content is not included within the eBook version.Advanced Linux Programming is divided into two parts. The first covers generic UNIX system services, but with a particular eye towards Linux specific information. This portion of the book will be of use even to advanced programmers who have worked with other Linux systems since it will cover Linux specific details and differences. For programmers without UNIX experience, it will be even more valuable. The second section covers material that is entirely Linux specific. These are truly advanced topics, and are the techniques that the gurus use to build great applications. While this book will focus mostly on the Application Programming Interface (API) provided by the Linux kernel and the C library, a preliminary introduction to the development tools available will allow all who purchase the book to make immediate use of Linux.

Anyone who wants to code on linux should read this book.
It explains everything, from file descriptors to sockets, passing by inter-process communication, threads, threads synchronization...
and all of this with small code fragments to try out, by yourself.

Believe me, you will be better informed after reading this book
