If you want to improve your productivity as a UNIX programmer, here's your best strategy: First, make sure you're taking full advantage of the most important tools available to UNIX programmers. Second, identify the programming improvements that will offer you the most "bang for the buck" -and, with the help of expert examples, learn to be more effective in those areas. J.T. Shen's Program Development in UNIX will help you do both. It includes comprehensive coverage of the UNIX programming tools that offer the greatest opportunities for productivity improvement, including: *SCM for user-friendly source code management. *MAKE techniques for object library building. *LEX and YACC as parser construction tools. *dbx source code debugging. *Shell scripts in the Bourne and C shells. You'll learn what you need to know to be more effective with UNIX technologies such as signals, dynamic memory management, sockets, RPC, and X/Motif.You'll also walk through seven UNIX programming case studies that focus on issues that are critical to developers today, including: *Writing client/server application using FIFOs and sockets. *Automatically creating forms with form builders . *Creating text editor, drawing editor, and table editor using X/Motif. Whether you're an experienced UNIX programmer or just starting out, Program Development in UNIX will help you clear away your personal programming bottlenecks-and turbocharge your productivity.
