Here is what I used.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0131103628/sr=8-1/qid=1143909728/ref=pd_...

make sure you have installed gcc on your linux install.  You can use any
text editor to write your programs.  GEdit and AnJuta are my editors of
choice.

At a console to compile you just type:
gcc file1.c -o file

this will compile your c program and make an executable file called file.
If you want C++ use a C or cc or cpp for you code file names.

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.

Can't make any specific recommenations, but I can warn you to avoid
any books by Herbert Schildt. Mr. Schildt is a skillful writer who
explains things clearly but sometimes very wrongly.

Anything by Schildt should be left on the book shelf. Failing that, they
should only ever be used in hand to hand combat or to prop up the bed.
Never open them. They are a danger to shipping and Schildt, should, IMHO
be banned from publishing again.

i generally feel the same about anything by ellie quigley.  a few
years back, i picked up a shell programming book by her and it was so
full of egregious errors, i gave up after a couple of chapters.
