Response to: Beware!
|
The reviewer who said 'Beware' not only didn't read the book (as he readily admits) but didn't read the description thoroughly. Here is the offending line:
Even with the trend toward high-level development, either through web software (such as PHP) or managed code (C#), someone still has to write the PHP interpreter and the C# virtual machine
This book in no way covers C# or PHP. It is strictly system level programming in C.

No offense. Just step back, count to ten and you'll understand my comment. A Unix/Linux programmer understands by "System Programming" a description of the System Interface - which is the collection of System Calls allowing you to program the System (read kernel). You show me in this book the description of ONE such call and I retract everything I said.
Sincerely yours,
Stephan.
p.s. Write this book - I would become your admirer!
