Unix Systems Books

I hope this book will be of guide to many others and I think xenix is still the best in the computing world. This book will be of help to any readers who have a little knowledge in computers and will fit most of the readers. It will guide us from the beginning to the most complicated tasks. I recommand many others to read this book.

This book is just a book that explain how to implement the TCP/IP application layer protocols on the embedded systems.

The definition of embeddes sytems are,
"An embedded system is a specialized computer system that provides a dedicated function such as control, monitoring or other services with in a larger system."
"It's important to note that an embedded system in no way implies a real-time system."
"One other interesting distinction of most embedded suystems is that the software that is developed for them is built(compiled and linked) on another computer."

There are some views about the embeddes systems in chapter 2.
"RTOS or no RTOS"
"Blocking or Non-blocking calls"
"single or multi-thread designs"
"memory management issues"
The last issues is the important, the dynamic allocation or pre-allocation of memory.

If you want to implement some applications using TCP/IP, this will be usefull for you.

If unix is making you cry because you don't even know where to start, this is the book for you. It will clearly get you through creating directories, moving files, basic printing commands. All the stuff the other books leave out because they think it's too obvious. I often recommend and loan out this book to people who are using unix for the first time, it will get you to the place where you can look up everything else you need to know online.

As a Tru64 UNIX professional, its hard to find books that meet my needs. This book does it and then some. The lay-out is logical it covers all the important topics so I don't waste time sifting through the docs to find what I need. If you work with Tru64 UNIX, you need this book.

I can't describe how much I like this book. It takes a pretty dry subject and presents it in a clear and interesting way. Very few wasted pages here. A good book for beginning to intermediate network admin. Some advanced users might not like this book, but why would they need a book anyway? I started reading this about 10 pm, it is 1 am & I can't put it down.

Finding this book was quite a pleasant surprise. It's one of the only collections out there for Unix admins who want to have fun with their workstations.

The book consists of detailed instructions on how to play:

Canfield, Chess, Colossal Cave Adventure, Flight Simulator, Go, Hearts, Klondike, Mahjongg, Reversi, and Spider

She also includes the source code and precompiled binaries on the CD-ROM which comes with the book.

It would have been nice if she'd included DOOM, but I suppose she only wanted "open-source" games.

This little booklet is a *must have* for C and C++ programmers alike. It is a list of the most commonly used functions, descriptions, parameters, and return values. Have a hard time remembering what strtok does? It's in there

Some authors write in a style that demonstrates their technical mastery at the expense of reader comprehension. By contrast, some modern technical books talk down to their readers in a silly way. This book is like baby bear's porridge, just right. Not too hot, not too cold. Begining with the first enterprise storage technologies, the authors explain where we are today, how we got here and where we are going. Storage concepts are broken down piece by piece and presented in a concise, understandable way. I couldn't recommend this book more highly.

This is a beautiful little book. A concise listing of UNIX shell script functions and all the operators. This book is far more convienient than searching through huge UNIX texts or scrolling through a manual entry. This book gives you the bare building blocks with no fluff to get in the way. I use it on almost a daily basis at work and I recomend it to anyone who needs clear and immediate answers to scripting commands.

Hands down this is the best reference of its kind. Though somewhat dated, the material is as pertinent today as it was 20 years ago. There is no better introduction to the vi, ex, and sed editors and troff and nroff text processing tools. Those just scratch the surface of the power provided in the UNIX text toolset. At the end, the authors do a fantastic job of detailing how the tools can be all brought together using the make utility to ease any text processing job. Despite the updates that have given us the WYSIWYG (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) approach, these early text processing tools are still unmatched in their processing capabilities and extendability. This book will give you the insight and introduction you need to start making use of them today.
