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.
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...
评分由于是两个作者共同完成的,如果你打算把它当做入门书籍,从第一章开始读到最后一章,那会很吃力,而且本书的翻译比较拗口,更是增加了难度。 另外从编排上,个人觉得没有多少连贯性,只要有一点linux基础的人,都可以从任何章节开始读。 这本书内容非常多,但是没有与厚度成正...
评分大致翻完了这本书。 内容非常全面,对linux环境下编程相关的各个方面都做了清晰的论述。基本如shell,文件,开发工具,调试,高级如线程,套接字,数据库,图形编程都有涉及。 深入浅出,像推开了一扇门,外面的青山流水小桥人家都尽入眼底,就只等你跨步出去。 是入门学习的极...
评分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。
评分虽然不如APUE那一类书出名,作为Linux初学者,这本书绝对是最佳选择;从shell一直讲到x-window编程,语言平易近人,确实是一本难得的好书,就是价格高了些,许多Linux的技巧性知识在书中也有提及。
一些主题章节没读,适合入门学习,例子很浅显,很大部分是讲系统调用。进阶推荐APUE。
评分看了前面1/3, 暂时没兴趣看后面的了,2010-08-15. continue...内存,进程,线程,管道,done. 不想看了,ch14 TODO
评分直接看英文版吧,中文版惨不忍睹,不错的入门书,大而全
评分介绍一些Linux的API,有些内容比较旧,对于初学者来说还是比较好的,因为有一些小例子很利于熟悉这些API。由于内容比较多,因此本书介绍的内容都比较浅显。
评分介绍了linux的很多方面。程序例子都不难,并且非常清晰地说明了概念和方法。自己常常会在写makefile和debug的时候回来读那两章,非常实用。
