Neil Matthew has been interested in and has programmed computers since 1974. A mathematics graduate from the University of Nottingham, Neil is just plain keen on programming languages and likes to explore new ways of solving computing problems. He’s written systems to program in BCPL, FP (Functional Programming), Lisp, Prolog, and a structured BASIC. He even wrote a 6502 microprocessor emulator to run BBC microcomputer programs on UNIX systems. In terms of UNIX experience, Neil has used almost every flavor since the late 1970s, including BSD UNIX, AT&T System V, Sun Solaris, IBM AIX, many others, and of course Linux. He can claim to have been using Linux since August 1993 when he acquired a floppy disk distribution of Soft Landing (SLS) from Canada, with kernel version 0.99.11. He’s used Linux-based computers for hacking C, C++, Icon, Prolog, Tcl, and Java at home and at work.
All of Neil’s “home” projects are developed using Linux. He says Linux is much easier because it supports quite a lot of features from other systems, so that both BSD- and System V-targeted programs will generally compile with little or no change.
Neil is currently working as an Enterprise Architect specializing in IT strategy at Celesio AG. He has a background in technical consultancy, software development techniques, and quality assurance. Neil has also programmed in C and C++ for real-time embedded systems.
Rick Stones started programming at school (more years ago than he cares to remember) on a 6502-powered BBC micro, which, with the help of a few spare parts, continued to function for the next 15 years. He graduated from Nottingham University with a degree in Electronic Engineering, but decided software was more fun.
Over the years he has worked for a variety of companies, from the very small with just a dozen employees, to the very large, including the IT services giant EDS. Along the way he has worked on a range of projects, from real-time communications to accounting systems, to very large help desk systems. He is currently working as an IT architect, acting as a technical authority on various major projects for a large pan-European company.
A bit of a programming linguist, he has programmed in various assemblers, a rather neat proprietary telecommunications language called SL-1, some FORTRAN, Pascal, Perl, SQL, and smidgeons of Python and C++, as well as C. (Under duress he even admits that he was once reasonably proficient in Visual Basic, but tries not to advertise this aberration.)
Beginning Linux Programming, Fourth Edition continues its unique approach to teaching UNIX programming in a simple and structured way on the Linux platform. Through the use of detailed and realistic examples, students learn by doing, and are able to move from being a Linux beginner to creating custom applications in Linux. The book introduces fundamental concepts beginning with the basics of writing Unix programs in C, and including material on basic system calls, file I/O, interprocess communication (for getting programs to work together), and shell programming. Parallel to this, the book introduces the toolkits and libraries for working with user interfaces, from simpler terminal mode applications to X and GTK+ for graphical user interfaces. Advanced topics are covered in detail such as processes, pipes, semaphores, socket programming, using MySQL, writing applications for the GNOME or the KDE desktop, writing device drivers, POSIX Threads, and kernel programming for the latest Linux Kernel.
我想学编程,可是每次买一本书,刚开始翻的时候信心十足,翻着翻着,信心就一点点往下减。真是看得要累晕掉了。这本书又这样了,听说是属于编程经典一类的,刚买来挺高兴的。就怕自己坚持不了几天。昨天我哥在网上找到一个猎豹网校,让我看一下。你别说,正好有我要学的这门课...
评分虽然不如APUE那一类书出名,作为Linux初学者,这本书绝对是最佳选择;从shell一直讲到x-window编程,语言平易近人,确实是一本难得的好书,就是价格高了些,许多Linux的技巧性知识在书中也有提及。
评分可以将这本书作为学习linux编程的入门级书籍,讲得不深,涉及到的知识面还行,但要深入的话,建议参照《UNIX环境高级编程》来读。 我读的是英文版的,语言不难,有些地方参考了第三版中文版来读,第三版的翻译不错,不知道第四版咋样,但应该不会差,推荐初学者看。

2011-06-16 读过 看了前面1/3, 暂时没兴趣看后面的了,2010-08-15. continue...内存,进程,线程,管道,done. 不想看了,ch14 TODO
评分我学习Linux编程的第一本书,书介绍了在Linux下编程可能需要的知识和工具。虽然每个主题不能详尽所有内容,但是作为一份引导,一个“Begin“绝对是名副其实。可以带领大家走向Linux平台下的编程。
评分主要通过这本书学习多线程编程和IPC。
评分介绍一些Linux的API,有些内容比较旧,对于初学者来说还是比较好的,因为有一些小例子很利于熟悉这些API。由于内容比较多,因此本书介绍的内容都比较浅显。
评分2013年6月 第二次读 读的第一本linux编程书籍,正如书名,这是一本linux编程的入门书籍,有点C语言基础就能读懂,如果还有一点linux的基础就更好了。
