"The Art of UNIX Programming": Good book."The Art of UNIX Programming": Good book.Posted Oct 3, 2003 16:33 UTC (Fri) by dwheeler (guest, #1216)Parent article: "The Art of UNIX Programming" by Eric S. Raymond Released I reviewed earlier versions of this book, and I think it's a good book. I certainly don't agree with every statement in it, but Eric does a good job at something very difficult: capturing a mindset instead of simple syntax or semantics. Decades of thinking about how to engineer software are embodied in the so-called "Unix culture", and it's important to capture this experience. This book does a good job of capturing it.

"The Art of UNIX Programming": Good book. Posted Oct 3, 2003 18:45 UTC (Fri) by wweber (guest, #11678) [Link] Decades of thinking about how to engineer software are embodied in the so-called "Unix culture", and it's important to capture this experience. Does the GNU culture take after the Unix culture? Or does it transcend it somehow? Of course there are trolls out there who would say 'To code for Linux all you need do is use "a100yy :e vmlinuz.c "ap :e unixware.c until you've copied all the code from *nix!'
