I've been programming in C for a good number of years (from the kernel side as well as system call libraries) and still found I learned a thing or two from this text. The recipes are clear and concise with easy to understand instructions. There were only a few places where I encountered a minor error (i.e., a missing #include for a function call to use perror() used in a recipe from one of the later chapters is one example). Any issues encountered can easily be solved by looking up the missing #include by searching "man X ". Readers can also do a little extra learning by extending these recipes to include additional error checks around some of the function call returns (the author tells you where to look at the end of each recipe/sample program to look in the man pages for more info). I completely understand the author not doing this as part of the examples as it can muddy the subject matter, but it's still a good exercise for the reader who might be new to coding C and need to impress a potential employer.To reiterate, whether you're new to C programming or a mid-career level engineer, this book has something to offer you (even if its just a refresher for things forgotten). I have no regrets about purchasing this book and would like to thank the author for taking the time to provide it. Books like this fill a gap where there are very few "recent" C programming language books on the subject; it seem everyone wants to write books that follow the learning path of high-level languages even though they're millions of lines of code written in C libraries that will need to be maintained well into the future. ### ⭐⭐⭐ the content is quite simple *by S***K on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 29, 2021* this is not a in-depth book. A lot of paramgrpahs seems duplicated, for example, Getting ready section, they are almost the same. and the sections like "how to do it" and "how it works", just describe the code in a simplest way. It is waiting your timeto read this book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Level up your Linux skills by learning to program *by F***Z on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 8, 2021* I like this book. Instead of trying to teach you C from first principles, the first chapter jumps right into showing you how to write a program that parses command line options. The examples in subsequent chapters are equally pragmatic. The author explains pipes and redirection early on so that newcomers can begin connecting small programs together from command line from the get go. Topics quickly become more advanced with step-by-step guides on how to link with shared libraries and write your own Makefiles. The author teaches us about daemons and shows us how to convert our own daemons into systemd services. Most of the subjects you would expect from a book on Linux system programming are covered in great depth including file I/O, forking and pthreads. The only major omission is TCP/IP sockets but that subject warrants it's own entire book. If you're looking to make the leap from a Linux user or admin to systems developer then this book is a great first step.Full disclosure: I'm a fellow author for Packt Publishing. ## Frequently Bought Together - Linux System Programming Techniques: Become a proficient Linux system programmer using expert recipes and techniques - Linux Kernel Programming: A comprehensive guide to kernel internals, writing kernel modules, and kernel synchronization - Linux Kernel Programming Part 2 - Char Device Drivers and Kernel Synchronization: Create user-kernel interfaces, work with peripheral I/O, and handle hardware interrupts --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/311401296-linux-system-programming-techniques-become-a-proficient-linux-system-programmer](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/311401296-linux-system-programming-techniques-become-a-proficient-linux-system-programmer) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
