There's a free C++ book which is great :

You can also buy the hardcopy on Amazon.

I'd recommend learning C before C++. In order to
be an effective unix programmer you must master
the C language, as you'll have to examine and
modify code in C to do anything substantial.
Virtually all major programs and kernels are 'C'
based.

I think, in general, this is wrong.  And I think many "professionals"
also feel that learning C++ is the way to go. If you just learning, you might as well start with C++. For many good reasons, see Stroustrup's answer himself:

UNIX is user-friendly. It's just a bit picky about who its friends are.
