Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
"Addressing the ongoing shift from large, centralized computers to small, networked client-server systems and the explosive growth of the Internet, this book provides a comprehensive guide to modern UNIX tools and programming. The book prepares the first-time user with a complete UNIX primer (in Chapter 1), and then guides the reader through a carefully focused selection of topics, including UNIX commands and utilities, the X Window System graphical user interface, shell usage and programming, Internet tools (FTP, WWW, network news), C-level programming for modifying and creating UNIX facilities, networking through Internet-standard interprocess communication, program maintenance (make and sccs), and document formatting in LATEX. This book is a valuable working resource and reference for computing professionals interested in effective use of UNIX (BSD or System V)." "Ready-to-use examples illustrate many immediate, practical applications, and a bound-in 3.5" disk contains useful examples of tools, shell scripts, and complete C programs."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
