Hi,
maybe I misunderstood this paragraph, but "The Unix Programming
Environment" is _the_ book for every ongoing unix programmer.
Even though it has aged over the years, it has aged well and most
practices shown in the book are still valid today.
Yeah, it is totally true. There are some points that can cause
confusion ($@ "$@" $*), but 99% is correct today. I had a list of
these books, but I cannot find it. From my memory:
- K&R
- The practice of programming
- The dragon book
- The standard C library. P.J. Plauger
- Lions book
- The desing of the unix operating system. J. Bach
- The art of unix programming
- Let's build a compiler (this is a articles serie, but
there is a compiler version)
- Linkers and Loaders , published by Morgan-Kaufman
- Termcap & terminfo
Books that I have in my list of next readings:
- The awk language
- Software Tools in Pascal, Kernighan and Plauger (I think there is
a version of this book in C, isn't it?)
This is a good list.
It's not Unixy but I'm fond of Hoare's _Communicating Sequential Processes_.
Still the best (i.e., cleanest, most suckless) concurrency model, imo.
