Starting a new chapter - today I bought two books:
Foundations of GTK+ Development, by Andrew Krause. The author has
build a support site for the book: http://www.gtkbook.com and the site
is promising as the book itself!
This is the most up to date of all gtk+ books at the time.
.
Gtk+ Programming in C, by Syd Logan appears to be one of those book I'll
need more as time goes on.

Here are two books I should have ordered first:
The Linux Programmer's Toolbox, by John Fusco is an excellent
introduction to Linux development in general. Just looking at the table
of contents should wet your appetite: Downloading and Installing Open
Source Tools, Building from Source, Finding Help, Editing and Maintaining
Source Files, the Kernel basics, Debugging, Performance Tuning and more.
.
The Official GNOME 2 Developer's Guide, by Matthias Warkus seems to
be uniquely useful introduction to the Gnome and GTK+ dev libraries, Glade
interface designer and all of it surrounded by detailed descriptions of project
configuration issues, compiling, the GnomeVFS and other items needed by
every aspiring Linux GUI developer.

Beginning Linux Programming, by Neil Matthew & Richard Stones.
Judging from the TOC this book is hard not to buy/recommend. It just
has it all!
The book starts with the basics of writing Unix programs in C, and shell
programming, file I/O, interprocess communication, pipes, semaphores
and threads, socket programming, basics of MySQL, GNOME/GTK+ and
KDE for graphical user interfaces.
The link to Errata & Code download.
.
And a month later, on Feb 29, I found another book: A Practical Guide to
Linux Commands, Editors, and Shell Programming, by Mark G. Sobell.

Not sure why, but I bought GNU Autoconf, Automake, and Libtool,
by Gary V. Vaughn, Ben Ellison, Tom Tromey & Ian Lance Taylor.
.
Another book, Linux Programming by Example: The Fundamentals,
by Arnold Robbins is quite a usefull book. Combined with the yelow lightsaber
book and the book by Sobell, each describing same topics but from different
perspective gives you very unique knowlidge about vast area of Linux internals.
Doing something from shell and then doing the same thing from C source
leaves you with deeper understanding of all the magic going on inside Linux
OS. |

Another acquisition: Linux System Programming, by Robert Love. Other
books I have already cover materials presented here, but I decided to buy it
anyway since it doesn't take too much space and all that...
.
My second book by Arnold Robbins, Unix in a Nutshell is a very complete
Unix reference that pays special attention to Solaris, Linux and Mac OS X
flavors. Very cool.

Just came from Amazon: Understanding Linux Network Internals, by
Christian Benvenuti.
This is both a general discussion and at the same time detailed guide to
Linux networking. Topics include: Key problems with networking, network
interface card (NIC) device drivers, system initialization, layer 2 (link-layer)
tasks and implementation, layer 3 (IPv4) tasks and implementation, neigh-
bor infrastructure and protocols (ARP), bridging, routing and ICMP - Internet
Control Message Protocol.
Peculiar thing on the book's cover: a can of cocoa with styled labels "Pure
Cocoa" and "Cocoa Extract". |
