Customer Reviews

This book is brilliant

I love it when a book starts with "This doesn't tell you XXX because if you haven't learned that from your first C book, this will be out of your league"Well, not exactly, but close.It's really good as a reference, and truly well-written.Gary (-;PS It's not Stevens's book, but I'd recommend it anyway.

readable and very useful

This book has bread and butter info in it. The chapters on file locking, command line processing, and date and time functions were excellent. The code presented was very readable and consise. I am talking about production quality code that I added to my projects at work. Well worth the money for me. The other main book on unix programming is the Oreilly book Systems Programming in Unix. Or something like that. Other people at work have that one, but, in my opinion, this book is better. If you program in a Unix environment, and have to deal with it at a systems level, this book has stuff in it you can use.

Great book has just come!!!

I think that it is a good book for biginner since it is easy to understand.
