Advanced Linux Programming is divided into two parts. The first
covers generic UNIX system services, but with a particular eye
towards Linux specific information. This portion of the book will
be of use even to advanced programmers who have worked with other
Linux systems since it will cover Linux specific details and
differences. For programmers without UNIX experience, it will be
even more valuable. The second section covers material that is
entirely Linux specific. These are truly advanced topics, and are
the techniques that the gurus use to build great applications.
While this book will focus mostly on the Application Programming
Interface (API) provided by the Linux kernel and the C library, a
preliminary introduction to the development tools available will
allow all who purchase the book to make immediate use of Linux.
