Product: The Linux Programming Interface: A Linux and UNIX System Programming Handbook

This book is amazing! It is so much more thorough and comprehensive than any other Linux book that I have read through in the past. I have to be honest to say that I have never considered myself to be an expert in Linux programming, but I have dabbled in it in the past. This book however has set the bar so high because it truly walks you through pretty much any issue that I can think of in regards to programming in Linux. With 64 chapters which cover a myriad of different topics and uses 200 example programs, 88 tables, 115 diagrams and 1506 pages, you will be as amazed as I was to the treasure that this book is.

One of the things that I appreciated in the chapters were the exercises that they have you work on as you are going through the book. Though some chapters only have one exercise, you still get challenged by the author to utilize the knowledge that he is imparting in the chapter.

The book itself claims to be a ‘new classic’ and though this seems a bit pretentious, I would have to agree with them. I have to agree and say that you will not find another as comprehensive resource on the market today!

Overall this is an amazing read and I highly recommend it to all Linux programmers (or wanna-be’s).
