Description
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.

This on the flip-side is also the books shortcoming. It covers everything and yet fails to provide a detailed look into the concepts. If you are serious about program...

Mind-blowing purchase
To start with an Computer Career, Linux is must to learn. So get the hands on it as its has basic to basics examples of Linux Programs with example in it. But you should have to get to this.
Note:Better to learn some C and(or) C++ for betterment for you.
