Linux Programming Bible

How can you find the size of a file? How can you write an Internet web server? How can you add a GUI to your programs? Why is it important to synchronize data between programs, and how do you do it?

All of these questions and more are answered by the Linux Programming Bible. The Linux Programming Bible (Amazon link) is the first and only comprehensive book that takes an in-depth look at programming in Linux. It serves both as a tutorial and as a reference, covering topics that many other books omit such as intracacies of using dynamic libraries, relationship of signal handlers to system calls, and many other details. Through the use of explanations and extensive, ready-to-run tutorials, you can understand and apply concepts of Linux programming in record time. Every Linux programmer should have a copy of this book on the bookshelf!
