Appendix B. Bibliography

Many books have been written about Unix and related topics. It would be impossible to list them all, nor would that be very helpful. In this chapter, we present the “classics"--those books that the true Unix wizard has on his or her shelf. (Alas, some of these are now out of print; thus only older Unix wizards have them.)

Because Unix has affected many aspects of computing, you will find books listed here on things besides just the Unix operating system itself.

This chapter presents:

  • Unix descriptions and programmer’s manuals

  • Unix internals

  • System and network administration

  • Programming with the Unix mindset

  • Programming languages

  • TCP/IP networking

  • Software development

  • Emacs

  • Standards

  • O’Reilly books
