Synopsis

Building on the proven success of the previous editions 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, the reader learns by doing, and is able to move from being a Linux beginner to creating custom applications in Linux. 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 etc. About The Author: Neil Matthew and has been programming UNIX systems since 1978.
