Recommended Reading (RFC)

| See the following list, which has input from developers:
http://advogato.org/article/794.html
Any recommendations beyond this list or substitutes?
Yes there is C++ on this list. I am starting to see the advantage of using
C++ for a lot of system, threads and lower level calls.
Obviously it is subjective. I am looking for a few good, new, reads.
Thanks,
Mike Chirico

May I humbly recommend my book, Solaris Systems Programming?
I conceived it to be an updated and much-expanded version of
Rich Stevens' excellent APUE. Despite the word Solaris in the
title, most of the book is relevent to all UNIX and UNIX-like
OSes.

Don't you hate the title by now? Was "UNIX Systems Programming"
already taken or were you to humble to claim UNIX without discussing
SunOS 3.2.1, AIX 3.2 and S5R2?

Not at all. Although most of my book IS relevent to most
UNIX and UNIX-like OSes, the OS I focus on with specifics
and extensions is Solaris.
There IS a book called UNIX Systems Programming, but I've
not read it.

No, I just wanted to keep the scope focussed on relatively
recent OSes (I go back as far as Solaris 2.5, which is arguably
too far!).

Ok. I just noticed that you explain that most of it applies to most
UNIX-like systems over and over again. It probably should be named
"UNIXoid Systems System programming with a focus on Solaris". If you
consider this for the second edition, I want royalties ;-)

Neither have I. It's an O'Reilly book, which is a good sign. It's not
a Stevens book, which is a bad sign ;-)
For my class, I used APUE, along with the UNIX Haters Handbook and the
NHD.
Bye,
Stephan

Gotcha. I do that because I don't want anyone getting the impression
that it's for Solaris ONLY, because that would be wrong.

I bear that in mind. :-)

You're thinking of "UNIX Systems programming for SVR4", by David Curry.
But there's also a PTR book call "UNIX Systems Programming". I reviewed
it a few years ago for the UK Sun User Forum.

Rich, which exactly book did you review? The one you haven't read :-)?

I should learn to read what I write before pressing send! For the
record, I reviewed David Curry's book.
