Title: Excellent Introductionary Book
Review: I've been a typical Win32 programmers living in a world of Microsoft development tools and APIs. Having had tried Linux development (as a hobby) numerous times in the past I always got stopped by the lack of quality books similar in quality to what Microsoft Press was pumping out for Windows programmers.This one, however, is just excellent. It's not narrow as some Linux books are, and it's not one of those ancient UNIX programming books.80/20 rule applies to many things including learning. You'll be using just 20% of "linux programming knowledge" at least 80% of the time. This book carefully picks those 20%, just the "right stuff" and captures it beautifully.And it's a hardcover too. Buy it.
