Re: [newbie] Unix Book

 I don't know about targeting network programming.  But the best book
 I've ever seen on C programming is C How To Program, second edition,

I've heard that Stevens' book is widely regarded to be the definitive
Unix programming text. Others go with Kernighan and Ritchie's book; the
latter is more just a synopsis of the language rather than an intero
programming text. 

Personally, I haven't looked at C or other how to program books in 
quite sometime (I used one called variations in C when I was taking
a C programming course in school) but I'd hazard a guess that many
of them are way too windows or dos-based.

I don't know about targeting network programming.  But the best book
I've ever seen on C programming is C How To Program, second edition,
by H.M. Deitel and P.J. Deitel.  They've got a third edition, but I
still like the second edition better. I can do without the cute little
bugs, highlighting works just as well for me.

They've also got a C++ version, second and third.  Content is superb in
all of them.

The one i have here is ISBN 0-13-226119-7.
