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. > rday > > > -- > fedora-list mailing list > fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list -- Ernest L.
