Hi,
Damned fine book.
Don't touch with a bar pole - it's awful!
Personally, I love "Beginning Linux Programming, 3rd Ed" - bloomin'
brilliant book
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0764544977/qid=1143910571/sr=8-3...
And when you're happy with that and want to move on...
Beginning GTK+/Gnome: Linux GUI Programming
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1861003811/qid=1143910571/sr=8-4...
And then, if you want to learn how to program games
Programming Linux Games
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1886411492/qid=1143910679/sr=1-1...
Just make sure you grab the newest version of the sources from the
nostarch website (
http://www.nostarch.com) - the ones in the book were
written for old versions of the libraries.
