This book provided exactly the information I need to dive into building applications and utilities for Linux. The writing is clear, the code is solid, and the examples are practical.
I contacted the publisher, SAMS, and the source code is on their website. You can download it in a couple of minutes.
Don't let the other comments talk you out of buying this book. It's a really fine effort.
Thanks!
I liked it
Overall this book is great. It gets you started in all of the major areas of Linux development, something I'd missed in other programming books. It provides a central source of information for many of the most common programming utilities and libraries on the GNU/Linux platform. It answered *a ton* of questions. I just wish the topics described would've been explained in more detail or saved for a second / third book.
