Refer to my post "A little light reading" in my personal blog. I am reading Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment.

This is probably the best programming book I've ever read. It is completely changing the way I think about computer programming and logic.

This is not a book to teach C programming, it assumes that the reader is familiar with C syntax and such. It introduces the Unix Environment (with quite a steep learning curve at first). And covers every aspect of the Unix system. It might be quite a difficult read without some working knowledge of Unix.

UNIX is not just an operating system. It is a complete philosophy of software design - far superior (in my opinion) to any other.

UNIX code is highly portable across many different hardware architectures and OS implimentations. It supports heavy code re-use through dynamic linking. It supports very efficient inter-process communication and process spawning. It is intuitive and uncluttered

UNIX is the future.
