Unix Systems Programming

Initially, I purchased the book to study systems programming on Unix in a systematic way - I have been coding on Unix all my career - but wanted to organize it a bit. The book proved instrumental - I ended up learning lot more than just organizing my current knowledge. Learned about PVM, concurrency and communication protocols ground up. The most powerful tool the authors present are the exercises where the objective is to build an industrial grade application from scratch and they walk you through the process of thinking in terms of the functionality available on Unix.I wish I read this book lot before than I did!!

It's concise, it's to the point and updated.
