I have recently acquired a new (to me) book that may also be interesting
for anyone wanting to learn "systems programming" in any Unix-like
environment.

While it's not really all that new (copyright 2003), it is none the less
somewhat newer than Stevens' APUE; has many still-relevant examples and
exercises; and is perhaps more oriented as a learning textbook:

        UNIX SYSTEMS Programming (Communication, Concurrency, and Threads)
        Kay A. Robbins, Steven Robbins
        Second Edition
        Prentice Hall PTR
        ISBN 0-13-042411-0

I got my copy via alibris.com where more hardcover copies can be found
for as little as $5 or less.

I did find a full PDF online too without too much google fu.

I still very much like all the late W. Richard Stevens' books and admire
them for their completeness and accuracy and attention to detail.
However they are now somewhat dated.
