A good all round book is 'Beginning Linux Programming' by Neil Matthew &
Richard Stones from Wrox Press. It contains a basic primer on what is
Unix/Linux, shell programming, working with files, the Unix environment,
reading and writing to terminals, the curses/ncurses libraries, data
management, development tools, debugging, processes and signals,
inter-process communications (pipes), semaphores, message queues, shared
memory, sockets, Tcl, programming for X, HTML, and CGI.
