The best beginner Linux programming book is the "Unix Programming
Environment" by Kernighan and Richie. It is old and belong to the
System 7 arena. But, the concepts are still applicable today.
Then, get involved with an open-source project. You will learn
more by doing it.

Subject: [ale] Learning to programming from the application level
I have learned how to program over the years from the application level
starting with Quick Basic. I would like to learn much more but am not sure
what books to buy. I know how to write programs and use system calls but I
want to know how to write what is behind those calls. I would like to start
from the ground up with a good assembler book. I have purchased one book
but it talks to much about Microsoft's tools. I have only 10 Linux
machines at home and I will only use gas to write anything. So a book that
is not bias on any platform would be good. I would like to begin to even
work on a boot program as well. So the book would need to discuss a little
about how the guts really work. We all know how they work but how much do
we know. I'm looking to improve myself with more knowledge. If anyone know
of a book or even has an old book on the shelf I would greatly appreciate
buying it from you or borrowing or whatever. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Christopher Fowler
