Title: Very Good Book for Crusty Sysadmins
Review: This book has been very helpful to me and will enhance my understanding of Unix and more specifically, Solaris.Before this book, I held the book, "Unix Internals: A Systems Operations Handbook" by Shaw and Shaw as the bible of figuring out the innards of Unix. Rich Teer's new book, "Solaris Systems Programming," has taken that title and will now be my favorite Unix internals book.The book is well-written, thorough and has many examples. I wish Teer would have put in more details on threads programming, but I guess you can only go so far.I have recommended this book to almost all of my colleagues and will recommend it to anybody with any kind of programming background as a good reference for not only learning Unix systems programming, but learning Unix and how it works from a more detailed stand-point than the "Intro" books.
