Beginning Linux Programming

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.

读后感

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。  

确实是很好的一本Linux初级读物。 我从06年开始接触Ubunu Linux，记得当时版本还只是5.10。 接着，07-08年开始在UNIX下写各种程序。再后来（09-10）转入计算机图形学的研究，醉心于Windows操作系统下的DirectX渲染技术。 很幸运，在2011年春开始返回到我所热爱的Linux编程领域...  

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...  

粗略比较了一下第三版和第四版，似乎没有太大变化，第四版还少了讲驱动的一章。不明白作者为什么要这样改，前言里也没有提到。  

《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...  

用户评价

挺不错的Linux编程入门

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

又想做教程又想做手册，于是这本书悲剧了。

主要通过这本书学习多线程编程和IPC。

感觉写得有点乱，东扯一点linux命令，西扯一点C程序，不够系统
