    Thumbs up Hello to fellow programmers out there

    Hello everyone. I am new here and already found a lot of interesting posts and examples. I can't way to have some input as well. It is going to be a great forum I feel it. And I am here because I purchased a book about unix/linux systems programming in C. It is very interesting, but sort of hard to go through sometimes on your own. So I will be here whenever I am doing self-study and get stuck.

    Have a great day of programming

"Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.

    Welcome.
    Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.
    What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun?
    All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again.
    For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.

    It is the "Understanding Unix/Linux Programming with C" by Bruce Molay (Harvard) 2003 edition but concepts apply until this day. Great book so far. Trying to finish it one day, I am currently on Chapter 5 Connection Control

    welcome to the board.

    I do a lot of programming on Linux in C++, but all the system-level stuff is language-agnostic, so I hope my experience can be helpful when you need it.

    Hi eurosickwitit, linux is the tish, have fun! I hope you noticed my response to your first thread, it's kind of fundamental:

    Implementation of linux cp (copy) command in C language
    C programming resources:
    GNU C Function and Macro Index -- glibc reference manual
    The C Book -- nice online learner guide
    Current ISO draft standard
    CCAN -- new CPAN like open source library repository
    3 (different) GNU debugger tutorials: #1 -- #2 -- #3
    cpwiki -- our wiki on sourceforge
