"Beginning Linux Programming" is great. It explains the major
toolset. And don't let the "Beginning" fool you--it covers some more
advanced topics, like sockets, etc.
As far as GUI programming, GTK+ is the best C toolkit out there.
It has an excellent design. Start with the online tutorial at
http://www.gtk.org.
