The C Programming Language - This is a must if you're doing C. It's very readable and teaches much more than just language syntax. It's a small book, but if you read their example code until you really "get it" you will have learned a lot. There are also exercises that will make you *think* about how to structure your code, etc. Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment - Covers many, many parts of UNIX programming and is a nice read. It's organized by topic, so after you have read it you can easily use it as a reference. Also, Brett Lambert's suggestion of reading libc is excellent. There's no substitute for reading live, real world code. > Hope this isn't worst question ever (yeah, i know internet searches)... > I'd simply like some advice where to start .. It's not the worst. ;-) "Where or how can I learn" is a fine question. Much better than "Just give me the answer so I don't have to read or think" -- Darrin Chandler | Phoenix BSD User Group | MetaBUG dwchand...@stilyagin.com | http://phxbug.org/ | http://metabug.org/ http://www.stilyagin.com/ | Daemons in the Desert | Global BUG Federation
