Question Unix Programming Book Comparison
Hi,

I am starting out to program on Unix, having had experience in C and C++ in DOS. I would like to know, of these three, which is the best book for learning C programming in Unix:

Advanced Unix Programming by Marc Rochkind
Advanced Unix Programming by Warren Gay
Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment by Stevens

Please Help.

Thanks and regards,

TheIcarusAgenda

A digression - you know DOS, you do not know Unix. I would suggest starting somewhere else:

Try downloading the free Advanced Linux programming. It mostly concentrates on the basics which you probably do not know.

The Stevens book is good, but is an attempt at a complete solution. Walk before you run.
