5.0 out of 5 stars An incredibly well written book
Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on July 18, 2017
Verified Purchase
I have read a lot of technical books (principally windows and c++ related) and really I have NEVER seen a technical book as well written as this one.
The book has all the quality I always wanted:
1) it must be thorough: after reading you shouldn't need to read other book or search the web to complete your comprehension: every info you need must be there.
2) it must be clear: there should never be any ambiguity in expressions or situation that requires you to test the info on specific example. You must be able to understand it on first the first reading
3) it must be a pleasant journey: the order of the information should match the normal flow of your thinking and interrogations. The author should guide you so that when you think: "I wonder what would happen in this different situation", the next paragraphs do address that interrogation you have.
Again this book does all this extremely well. There is simply no equivalent in the windows world. It makes me learning linux a very pleasant experience.
Many many thanks Mr Kerrisk

4 stars because it is a year 2010 edition. Did not notice in the title. Lots of good stuff but was hoping this was a much more recent edition. Unfortunately it is a 2010 edition. Still it has quite a lot of good information for developers looking at getting an in depth understanding of UNIX as a whole and LINUX in particular.

5.0 out of 5 stars Programmer "must have"
Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on January 17, 2018
Verified Purchase
This massive hardcover book weighs in at 2.8 Kg (6.17 pounds) and is the most complete book I have ever seen on this topic. The title is slightly inaccurate because this book also covers various flavors of UNIX, as well as C programming in, and out of, a POSIX environment. Anyone learning to write C/C++ programs on Linux/UNIX this side of y2k should buy this book.
