  The changes to UNIX programming that have taken place since 1985 are extensive to say the least. The first edition of Advanced UNIX Programming is still used and considered to be a must have book on any UNIX programmer's shelf.

  With this new edition UNIX programmers now have a one-volume, comprehensive, in-depth guide to the essential system-level services provided to them by the UNIX family of operating systems - now including Linux, FreeBSD, and the Mac OS X kernel (Darwin). All UNIX application programs, regardless of what language they are written in, run on top of these services, so mastering them is essential for successful UNIX programming. And, with a movement towards open-source systems, programmers will appreciate the book's emphasis on portability.

  The Art of UNIX Programming poses the belief that understanding the unwritten UNIX engineering tradition and mastering its design patterns will help programmers of all stripes to become better programmers. This book attempts to capture the engineering wisdom and design philosophy of the UNIX, Linux, and Open Source software development community as it has evolved over the past three decades, and as it is applied today by the most experienced programmers.

  Eric Raymond offers the next generation of “hackers” the unique opportunity to learn the connection between UNIX philosophy and practice through careful case studies of the very best UNIX/Linux programs. In addition, commentary is provided by Brian Kernighan, UNIX pioneer and best-selling author; Doug McIlroy, the inventor of the UNIX pipg; David Korn, the inventor of the korn shell; Jim Gettys and Keith Packard, inventors of X windows; Henry Spencer, an original UNIX hacker; and Ken Arnold, an original BSD developer and JINI creator; Mike Lesk, author of the legendary uucp, lex, and tbl programs; and Sturat Feldman, author of UNIX's famous make utility.

  The book is divided into 4 parts. Part I explores the philosophy behind the development of UNIX. Part II explores design principles and patterns that are at the core of the UNIX tradition. Part III covers the rich UNIX tradition of reuse and the amazing variety of programming tools available to the UNIX developer. Part IV explores the UNIX open standards process, and the advantage in portability that UNIX enjoys.

  Effective C++ 3/e is a complete update of Effective C++ and Effective C++ 2/e .

  Like its predecessors, 3/e has 55 guidelines which contain better, more

  effective ways to write code, backed by specific examples. The second edition

  published in 1997, and was basically a face-lift of the first edition, keeping most

  of the same elements, and seven years later is still selling well.

  Now, Meyers has dramatically rejuvenated the material, including more than

  50% brand-new material. Meyers began this edition by asking himself, "What

  are the 55 most important pieces of advice for practicing C++ programmers in

  2005?" He also asked thousands of past users of his books this same question.

  This resulted in a completely new book. New material includes use of UML

  notation, thread safety, exception safety, design patterns, and templates. Any

  older material has been revitalized to reflect new ideas and strides in C++

  development.

  For students writing applications that run over TCP/IP, or for those responsible for managing and maintaining a TCP/IP internet, this book's innovative approach helps readers at all levels to truly understand how TCP/IP really works. Rather than just describing the protocols from an abstract, standards-related point of view-describing what the standards say the protocol suite should do-TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 1 actually shows the protocols in action. Stevens also recognizes that readers deal with multiple TCP/IP implementations on heterogeneous platforms. Therefore, the examples in this book show how current, popular TCP/IP implementations operate-SunOS 4.1.3, Solaris 2.2, System V Release 4, BSD/386, AIX 3.2.2, and 4.4 BSD-and they relate these real-world implementations to the RFC standards.

  Bestselling author W. Richard Stevens teams up with long-time colleague and TCP/IP expert Gary Wright in TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 2. Unlike other books on the subject, TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 2 presents the de facto standard implementation of TCP/IP from the 4.4 BSD release. The authors use a teach-by-example approach that combines hundreds of pictures and descriptions of all data structures and algorithms with 15,000 lines of code to help readers master the TCP/IP protocol suite. The book's timely coverage includes the newest TCP/IP features: multicasting, TCP's window scale and timestamp options, and protection against wrapped sequence numbers.

  In this book, the authors offer unprecedented, start-to-finish guidance on making the most of sockets, the de facto standard for UNIX network programming. The authors begin by introducing virtually every basic capability of TCP and UDP sockets, including socket functions and options, I/O multiplexing, and name and address conversions. They present detailed coverage of the Posix.1g standard for sockets and the Posix threads. They also introduce advanced techniques for: establishing IPv4/IPv6 interoperability, implementing non-blocking I/O, routing sockets, broadcasting and multicasting, IP options, multithreading, advanced name and address conversions, UNIX domain protocols, and raw sockets.

  Teaches students how to choose among today's leading client/server design approaches, including TCP iterative, concurrent, preforked and prethreaded servers.

  The Internet/intranet revolution has dramatically increased the demand for students graduating with a sophisticated understanding of network programming APIs, especially sockets. This book helps students achieve that goal.
