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.
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。
评分这本书已经读了一多半了,是一本很入门的书籍,但是在翻译山确实比较绕口。可能是译者功力不够,很多东西中文看不明白,反而是英语能看明白。在内容上,每一章都是一个非常简要的介绍,任何一章拿出来都有事一本书。在这里,真的想批评一下国内的一些译者,不但毁了大师的...

评分讲解细致,语言浅显易懂,但需要C语言基础,哎,为什么大学的老师不用这些课本当教材...如果本科的时候可以看见这本书,不知道可以少走多少弯路... 对于想学习linux下系统编程基本知识的人,强烈推荐!
评分《Linux程序设计》是我的Linux编程入门书籍,也是做为教材使用了一整个学期,在阅读和学习这本书的时候产生了很多的疑问,书里也没有对应的解答,直到……直到我看了APUE,带着这些问题去学习APUE,产生了巨大的能量。总之,推荐这本书,但是这本书也只是入门书籍,站在《Linux...
不错!入门级!
评分写得很杂,连mysql都有,适合不知道linux能做些什么事情的人
评分不错!入门级!
评分reading the book...
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。
