"Developers might also consider checking out the following: C and Unix Programming, by N. S. Kutti" --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Book Description
Reviewers of the earlier version of this book credited it with both an original approach and creative explanations for the various concepts. This comprehensive new edition covers both C and Unix programming. It follows the ANSI standard in C programming and the POSIX standard in Unix programming, which makes the text a useful tool for writing programs for industry.

Using numerous examples, C and Unix Programming: A Comprehensive Guide explains the basic concepts of the C language by creating the C-Virtual Machine, a unique, effective approach to helping students grasp technical ideas.

Everyone from high school graduates who are interested in programming to IT professionals, scientists, researchers, and other sophisticated computer users will benefit from the techniques and examples provided.

Among its many key features, this book:

* Details the concepts and ANSI features of C and its high-level application programming support

* Explains the powerful features of C to Unix-like system programming

* Describes C functions under many different topics

* Explains composite data structures, power of C pointers, and dynamic store management

* Presents the differences between I/O facilities - at both the application level (ANSI-C I/O) and the system call level (Unix-like I/O)

* Provides an overview of systems programming concepts and explains Unix kernel and system-level file and process management

Reader Reviews
This is exactly what I was looking for! N.S. Kutti's "C and Unix Programming: A Comprehensive Guide" can be used as a formal text or as a reference. The book covers basic to advanced C concepts on Unix. ANSI and Posix Standards are included. In my opinion, this book is a good model of what a formal college text should be. The book is heavy on theory without a lot of fluff, filler, or baby steps. I would recommend this book to C programmers or former enthusiasts who need a comprehensive review. A comprehensive C programming review can easily be done in thirty days using this book. Comment | | (Report this)
