C/Unix Resources

There is an impressive number of resources on the web dealing with C programming and/or the Unix environment. This is just a very small subset I have found useful.

Useful Pointers

• A pretty good and brief intro to Unix is "Learning the Unix Operating System (Nutshell Handbook), 5th Ed.", by Jerry D. Peek, Grace Todino, John Strang.
• If you are having problems getting started: Programming with GNU Software, M. Loukides and Andy Oram, O'Reilly is a short introduction to C programming on a Unix environment. There are also a number of helpful pages in the web (Holmes' C programming and Summit's C Programming are just two examples).
• Rob Pike's Notes on Programming in C (and, of course, Kernighan and Pike' neat little book The Practice of Programming packed with useful advice).
• Ashish Gupta has pointed out some useful links on concurrency (Thanks!). Please take a look at:
  • Operating Systems Concurrency
  • CNE Workbenches
  • Concurrency models and programs

• Mem. Management Reference
