Advanced Books, Programming Books
By a happy coincidence, this book is printed and distributed by O’Reilly & Associates, the industry’s leading source of books for programmers. And a big chunk of O’Reilly’s catalog is dedicated to teaching Unix, especially intermediate and advanced Unix. If this book—particularly Chapters 7, 15, and ???16—has given you the programming bug or the Unix bug, here are some titles that apply:
