Great C system programming book, C pragrammer saver
I will trade 1000 system programming book for this. Thank You to authors of this book!

This is surely the best C system programming book I have read. The main reason it so well written is because the author(s) know how to bring you in to system programming in Lunix environment and they know HOW to teach, un-like university lecture's. There is not much good system programming books out there, many are for advance programmer.

Simple people like me find it hard to follow other system programming books. However this book allow reader to pretty much start off in any chapter as you wish. Very few book allow this, many force you to read from being to end. Which is not what you want.

I remember want I was listening and read lecture notes & text books in university I know little.
I find the lectures help little or none at all most of the time, when I spend 4-5 months on a unit. After I some-how pass the system programming unit. I go the book shop and find this book. After one read of one hours in book shop, I have understand equal to 1 months of working very hard for 6hour a day and around $670 Australian. After I buy this book $66 Australian and read it for 2 months I have a new level of understanding that surprise my-self with it. This book may many thing very easy to understand unlike uni lecture and their notes.

This author start a class and teach, and if they do I will surely be there! They know how to teach.

I can tell you I not smart at all, but if I can follow this book, I think anyone can.

Well rounded book...
The choice of topics range from basics to advanced levels. Clear,concise descriptions of the different aspects of Linux programming with ample number of examples. The good thing is that one can focus on chapters of one's liking and can pick up the content in any chapter easily. Basic commands, shell scripts, database programming, makefiles, libraries, threads, sockets, semaphores etc. , are all covered. Pretty good book in all.

Good book

I would have given it 5 stars, but i am not to keen on look at this program and here is how it works style of teaching. A very good book on programing if you already know a little.
Don`t get me wrong though it can be followed fairly easily. An d the chapter on shell programing is great.
If you know a little c or c++ and want to learn to program for unix
this book is well worth the money. If you don`t know any programing
it may be a little hard to follow.
All in all i would by more book by this auther.
