unix programming book - old edition

[arunswarup]

Hi all,

I just got the book
Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment
from the library, and it says that it is the 1993 edition & a 2001 reprint

So, will it be useful for me when I am programming on my (Fedora Core 4) Linux machine?

any advice?

thank you

Probably yes. Concept are the same from all the time... Maybe, when you'll program in Linux or other system you'll find some differencies, but don't worry, because other specific documentation will help you.

Dear

I am using Fedora Core 4 now, but believe me or not I started to learn programming from an old unix book....

See, once you learn the basics of any programming, the rest are just the same., slight differences but you can just get used to them...if you have strong basics.

I think it is good for you that it is a old book; see what best you can get out of it.

Also the benefit is that you will be able to know what developments have occured over the new one...

So just enjoy them...

there are some changes but don't worry ,basic is same .....
but i suggest you don't go for "Unix Operating System By Bach"(title might be diff ) this book is little bit old concept in this book are also updated....
