Summary: Good solid introduction to Linux Programming
Comment: It is rather sad to see a good book like this one get beaten-up because of the "non existant" CD ROM that the author refers in the text. As mentioned in other reviews, the code can be DOWNLOADED!

The writing is lucid and easy for newbies to grasp. The author takes you from a "novice" level to an intermediate+ level with good coverage of topics like System programming and IPC.

I must admit though, I havent read the other books suggested by the other reviewers - so am not in a position to compare them. But this book suit me fine, and I didnt have to go to look elsewhere.

Definately a MUST BUY!

Summary: Excellent Linux Programming book
Comment: This book provided exactly the information I need to dive into building applications and utilities for Linux. The writing is clear, the code is solid, and the examples are practical.

I contacted the publisher, SAMS, and the source code is on their website. You can download it in a couple of minutes.

Don't let the other comments talk you out of buying this book. It's a really fine effort.

Thanks!

Summary: Finally, a comprehensive introduction to Linux programming
Comment: Those familiar with Linux know how obtuse its documentation can be. Anyone who has tried to compile Linux software will appreciate the additional information about what is going that is provided in this excellent text. You are bound to be inspired to try some highly educational examples. For those who want to try programming, this is an indespensible aide.

Unfortunately, I found some errors that are hard to spot. You may be luckier.
