Adding to this, 'Beginning Linux Programming' by Neil Matthew & Richard
Stones from WROX Press is good. Topics covered include:
- shell programming
- working with files
- the UNIX environment
- terminals
- curses (ncurses these days I think)
- data management
- development tools
- debugging
- processes and signals
- interprocess communication (pipes)
- semaphores, message queues and shared memory
- sockets
- Tcl (Tool Command Language)
- programming for X
- programming for the internet (html)
- internet programming 2 (cgi)
I guess it just depends on whether you want to just rinse your face or get
into it with the hipwaders on. hehehe
