There are many books out there that cover the subject.  Let me list a
couple:

1. Linux Programming by Example (by Kurt Wall)
2. Linux Programming Unleashed 2nd Edition (by Kurt Wall)

What I recommend especially if you like coffee:
Find your favorite technical bookstore serving coffee and browse the
through the literature on Linux Programming.
My favorites book stores here in the US are
-- BORDERS Books
-- Barnes and Nobles Books
-- Books a Million

What I do is browse the literature with an awesome cup of Java and
select the most suitable books.
