Hi,
 Not sure if I would call it beginners Linux programming.

python is a language commonly taught in computer science schools, and then combined with all the python bindings for the various widgets - this is a good beginners language - easy to start with.

They have a whole chapter devoted to inline assembly code. Please. Not beginner material.

Autotools are "universal". Every project is supposed to use them, and every user hates them. They are regarded as so complicated that they are usually written incorrectly, and so their wrong operation is "wrong". Try cross compiling with autotools. Urgh. The book does not mention them. Given their complexity - better to keep it away from beginners.

Yes - maybe this a book for Linux C/C++ beginners.


Cheers,
 Derek.

Didn't actually read that, just bookmarked it to take a look when I get home. :-)

Consider it to be 'beginners Linux programming' :-)

Published 2001?

I wonder how much is still directly relevant?
