Buchbesprechung: The Art of UNIX ProgrammingZusammenfassung:
Diese Buchbesprechung legt den Schwerpunkt auf die Haupt-Themen des Buches.
Wenn Sie diesen Text lesen, wird das Buch in den Geschäften erhältlich sein.
Diese Buchbesprechung basiert auf Version 0.87 des Buches, einer
Vorveröffentlichung, die uns vor der Publikation zur Evaluierung
zur Verfügung gestellt wurde. Beim Schreiben dieses Artikels habe
ich erkannt, wie wichtig das Thema des Buches ist. "The Art of
UNIX Programming" verdient eigentlich einen eigenen Artikel. Das
Buch ist sehr gut geschrieben und Sie werden sehen, dass Eric
weiss, worüber er spricht.
