I found a really good book that explains the basics of a wide variety of unix topics that I think would greatly benefit non-coding inplementors, and beginner and intermediate coders. Beginning Linux Programming by Neil Matthew and Richard Stones Wrox Press ISBN 1-874416-68-0 It covers shell programming, terminal IO prgramming, file IO programming, socket programming, RCS, makefiles, gdb, signals, semaphores, and IPC, and many other useful topics. It's easy to understand and it provides lots of useful examples. The example code is also available on the wrox web site at www.wrox.com. If you only buy one book, this is a good choice. Don't let the name fool you. The examples are all based on linux, but nearly everything applies to any other unix operating system you're using.
