Re: Book Recommendations

["[ Jason ]" <jasonj@satx.rr.com>]

Initially I sent this to Mr. Kraus, thinking it was going to
the list; but instead wound up in his inbox. Sorry about that :)
I don't post much. 

Here are my picks:

1)  Practical Unix Programming : A Guide to Concurrency, Communication
    and Multithreading
    By S. Robbins (PhD. MIT) and K. Robbins (PhD. MIT) 
    http://vip.cs.utsa.edu
 
    Excellent book, however some of the code examples are very 
    concise and may require several passes for a new C programmer
    to comprehend. I'll be honest, I had the privilege of taken
    the course from Dr. Steve Robbins and it was excellent to say
    the least. The second edition is very close to completion
    and includes a project I worked on as an undergrad :-D

2)  Understanding the Linux Kernel 
    by D. Bovet and M. Cesati
    O'Reilly series

    A nice book so far, haven't gotten to far with it. But I 
   would say that you need basic understanding of how an OS 
   works before diving right in.

3)  Maximum Linux Security 
    by Anonymous 

4)  "the Safe book"  aka: Practical Unix & Internet Security
    by. S. Garfinkel and G. Spafford
     
both 3) and 4) are must haves IMO.  The "Hacking Exposed series" isn't
too bad. But if you want some real fun set up a honeynet :-D
http://project.honeynet.org/

5) Any book by Richard Stevens; Adavanced Programming in the Unix
   System Enviornment; Unix Network Programming vol 1 & 2; 
   TCP IP/Illustrated Vol 1-3; especially Vol 1.

6)  Modern Operating Systems
    by A. Tanebaum
    Very good book from what I hear, but I don't own a copy.

7) Learning Perl
   O'Reilly series

8) Sed & Awk
   O'Reilly series

9) The C Programming Lang (ANSI Standard) (the white book, aka: the
   bible to some, the k&R book)
   by. Kernighan and Ritchie 
   This is a *must* have.

10) Books by Dietel and Dietel; such as "How to Program <foo>"
    Just in case the K&R book isn't your cup of tea, I found
    their series to be helpful.

11) Pick up a book on python..thats my next language. I heard
    its really useful.

12) the Java "core" series by C. Horstmann.

13) Java network programming by E. L. Harold; currently 2nd edition.
 
    Good book, covers Threads, working with URL's, secure sockets etc..

I think thats it. I have more book lying around but these were the
ones that came to mind right away.

Jason Jendrusch
