The secret is out—there’s something special about Linux. The operating system that began life as a way for then-student Linus Torvalds to do his homework has evolved into a powerful force in the marketplace, literally earning money overnight.

What is so special about Linux? And why should you, a programmer, care? You’ll find the answers in the pages of this book. Linux is more than just a new operating system. It represents the very best of what developers all over the world over like to see. Its rich multitasking capabilities and powerful communication features enable you to write powerful and fast applications quickly. Linux supports literally dozens of languages, including C, C++, Perl, Java, LISP, Prolog, Scheme, Pascal, BASIC, two shell flavors, assembler, Ada, Smalltalk, and FORTRAN. The program-ming environment in Linux is first-rate; many tools have had a chance to be refined since before Linux even existed, thanks to its UNIX heritage.

As Linux is a fairly new system, I discovered that there is a lack of information for the Linux programmer. That is where this book comes in. By reading this book, you not only get to learn what Linux is doing under the hood, but also how to take advantage of that knowledge in your own applications. Most of the extensive code examples in this book are complete programs, ready to run,

and some of which are also available online.
