Reader Reviews
Right up front I'll say this is a university study text not a book (so why is it on sale? ). It covers odds and sods from the UNIX / C world - there is no real cohesion. With a title like 'advanced C/UNIX' written by someone with a Ph.D. you'd excpect somthing pretty spectacular. It ain't - nothing covered is particularly advanced - perhaps 'intermediate C/UNIX' would be an appropriate title (but that has less appeal, right?). It does cover a wideish range of topics, but in very little depth (we're talking small puddle - hot day) 100 pages. I doubt Alan's Ph.D. is in computer science, gardening more likely. Some amusement was had debugging the typos in code examples (ouch). I think the main problem here is that someone's lecture notes got somehow mistaken for a book, which was then published and released for sale. Comment | | (Report this)
