Think Unix by Jon Lasser (Paperback - Illustrated)
Unix has a reputation for being cryptic and difficult to learn, but it doesn't need to be that way. Think Unix takes an analogous approach to that of a grammar book. Rather than teaching individual words or phrases like most books, Think Unix teaches the set of logical structures to be learned. Myriad examples help you learn individual commands, and practice problems at the end of difficult sections help you learn the practical side of Unix. Strong attention is paid to learning how to read "man pages," the standard documentation on all Unix systems, including Linux. While most books simply tell you that man pages exist and spend some time teaching how to use the man command, none spend any significant amount of space teaching how to use the content of the man pages. Even if you are lost at the Unix command prompt, you can learn subsystems that are specific to the Unix flavor.

Unix Network Programming by W. Richard Stevens (Hardcover - Subsequent)
This volume is a complete rewrite and expansion of Chapters 3 and 18 from the 1990 edition of UNIX Network Programming. In additional to covering the three forms of System V IPC (message queues, semaphores and shared memory), Stevens systematically reviews the superior new POSIX functions that implement each form of IPX. POSIX functions for synchronization are also covered, including mutex locks, condition variables, and read-write locks. Stevens shows how these can be used to synchronize threads, processes, and access to shared memory.

C and Unix by Martin L. Barrett (Paperback - Illustrated)
Martin L. Barrett and Clifford Wagner combine the efficiency of C with the productivity of UNIX, and give you the foundation to build stronger programming skills! This clear, concise book is written for experienced programmers, as well as those with a background in mathematics, engineering, and science. Five principles guide you through a complete course in programming: . Emphasis on software design via program and data structure design, the design of tables, data encapsulation, and the use of abstract data types solidifies all aspects of the design process. The development of C and UNIX simultaneously, yet independently of one another, allows you to develop skills in both languages, or focus on them individually. Chapter summaries, review problems, and numerous practical programming problems enable you to tie several different concepts together in a coherent scheme. Extensive examples covering scientific problems, applied mathematics, and floating point arithmetic broaden the spectrum of computer science and programming. Problems feature the ideal gas law, the accuracy of summations, root finding, the future value of an annuity, simulation, time series smoothing, image processing, integrals, descriptive statistics, fuzzy sets, and sparse arrays. A focus on basic principles gives you the groundwork for understanding data structures, analysis of algorithms, numerical analysis, computer graphics, and compiler design.

UNIX by Syed Mansoor Sarwar (Paperback - Addison-Wesley)
UNIX: A Textbook assumes that the reader has no background in UNIX. It carefully blends important UNIX concepts, like inter-process communication and I/O redirection, with shell commands to enhance understanding of both. Chapters are organized so readers focus on a small set of related topics. The book begins by providing a "UNIX Quick Start" for readers who want to immediately start using the book as a reference and begin working with UNIX. Then, the book tours the UNIX application interface, guiding readers through operating system utilities. The second edition of this book also includes additional coverage of UNIX software development tools. This book is designed for operating system programmers who want to familiarize themselves with the UNIX environment. Knowledge of OS concepts is needed for this book, but no prior knowledge or experience of UNIX itself is required.
