]]> Review5348669119 Tue, 11 Feb 2025 07:31:32 -0800 /review/show/5348669119 Yusuf gave 4 stars to The Linux Programming Interface: A Linux and UNIX System Programming Handbook (Hardcover) by Michael Kerrisk
bookshelves: technical-books
The Linux Programming Interface is an excellent resource for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of both the Linux API and C programming. Although the book is somewhat old, the majority of its content remains highly relevant and practical.

I did choose to skip a few chapters—namely Chapters 15 (File Attributes), 17 (Extended Attributes), 18 (Directories and Links), 39 (Capabilities), and 40 (Login Accounting)—because I felt that the material in these sections was either deprecated or no longer particularly useful. I also bypassed the System V–related parts of the text since they focus on a proprietary system, and I didn’t find them essential for my learning objectives.

Despite these skipped sections, the rest of the book thoroughly covers crucial topics such as multithreading, multiprocessing, inter-process communication, and memory management. I especially appreciated the abundance of exercises, which provided great hands-on experience with both C programming and the Linux API.

Overall, I highly recommend The Linux Programming Interface to anyone interested in developing a strong foundation in Linux system programming. Even though some parts may feel dated, the core material is still incredibly valuable.

bookshelves: technical-books
Making Embedded Systems: Design Patterns for Great Software is an invaluable resource for getting started to learn about embedded systems engineering.I wish I had discovered earlier in my own learning process.
The author managed to break down complex concepts into easily digestible information. As a bonus there are interview questions included at the end of each chapter. ]]> ReadStatus7192251314 Sun, 12 Nov 2023 11:20:13 -0800 /review/show/5348669119 Yusuf started reading The Linux Programming Interface: A Linux and UNIX System Programming Handbook by Michael Kerrisk

bookshelves: technical-books
"Effective C" is a bit of a rollercoaster. Some chapters get into the nitty-gritty details, almost to the point of being a snooze fest. On the flip side, some skim the surface, leaving you wanting more. One major gripe is the lack of example code. When it does pop up, it's often a mess, making it a headache to figure out and replicate on your own computer.

The memory allocation chapters are the shining stars here, providing solid insights. However, the rest can be a bit hit or miss. Admittedly, as a C newbie, some sections might be over my head. But, hey, a book called "Effective C" should cater to all levels, right?

In a nutshell, "Effective C" has its moments but falls short in a few key areas. If you're patient and experienced, you might get more out of it. For beginners like me, it's a bit of a bumpy ride.
