LINUX Programming combines the latest release of Slackware LINUX with a slew of programming tools needed by any programmer interested in UNIX, LINUX, and C. This book shows you everything you need to know to program on LINUX using any of the most popular programming languages, including C, C++, Java, Perl, Fortran, and Tcl. And the CD-ROM comes directly from Patrick Volkerding, the creator of Slackware.

If you want to take the next step beyond setting up, installing, and configuring LINUX, this book is for you. Volkerding, Johnson, and Reichard show you how to make the most effective use of LINUX by creating your own software or porting existing software packages to LINUX.

Review

If you're intrigued by what you've heard about Linux--the free Unix-workalike operating system embraced by numerous hackers and Web developers--then Linux Programming will offer everything you'll need to check it out for yourself. The book comes with a CD that includes the Slackware Linux distribution, and it covers not only how to set up Linux but what you can do with it. Linux Programming covers a smorgasbord of topics describing what you can do with C, C++, Perl, Tcl, Java, X Window, and LessTif (a Motif replacement), and offering tips on debugging and programming tools. Because the book tries to cover so much ground, it inevitably ends up seeming shallow in any individual area, but as a quick overview that will let you get started with Linux, it fills the bill.
