Hi,

I am a Win32 programmer interested in learning about programming under UNIX systems. I would be grateful if anyone could recommends books or sites which would be of a great start for me to start learning about UNIX programming. Thank you.

 
Try "Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment" by W.R. Stevens ISBN 0 201 56317 7. That will give you as much on Windows as MSDN will on windows internals.

User interfaces on Unix are a mixed bag. You have QT (see X Motif, XView, OpenView, CDE, curses (console only), OpenGL and Java. Depends on which system you are thinking of using. Some places just use Java and web browsers for user interfaces.
 
Thanks!

I'll look for the book! :)
 
Hi:

Two other books behind the Steven's book you might like to look at:

Using "C" on the Unix System by David Curry, O'Reilly, ISBN: 0-937175-23-4

Advanced Unix Programming by Marc Rochkind, Prentice-Hall, ISBN: 0-13-011818-4

Regards,

Ed
 
OK...I'll take a look at those also
