Kernighan (Author), Rob Pike (Author). <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.amazon.com/Programming-Environment-Prentice-Hall-Software-Series/dp/013937681X">http://www.amazon.com/Programming-Environment-Prentice-Hall-Software-Series/dp/013937681X</a> I used it a lot in grad school. Sure it's 30 years old, but at great deal of it is principles-based and a surprising amount of the technical material has not changed. It covered scripts as well as C programming and a lot of the programmatic tools. I'd suggest that once you have this knowledge under your belt, google and on-line sources can take you where you need to go. good luck! -rei On 02/16/2015 11:14 AM, Petter Adsen wrote: </div> <blockquote cite="mid:20150216171409.7138164e@fenris" type="cite"> <pre wrap="">Repeat, this is off-topic, but I wanted to tap into the knowledge of the list's subscribers. I apologize in advance. I've been looking to take up C programming for Linux/UN*X systems. I had a look at it a few years back, but got sidetracked. Has anyone got any suggestions for good books? I already have the K&R book, but I need more material. TIA, Petter </pre> <fieldset class="mimeAttachmentHeader"></fieldset> </blockquote> </body> </html>
