cover us uk de jp fr ca I have only seen the Aug 1999 edition, so I'm not sure if my comments also apply to this later edition. It is a large book and it is not really a reference book or a tutorial, its somewhere in-between. It includes Linux programs and concepts like GNU cc, make, autoconf, RCS, Emacs. Systems Programming concepts like I/O routines, files, process control, errors, memory management, pipes, Semephores, Network and socket programming. It also covers lots of languages including C++. There is a chapter on Java and there is also a chapter on OpenGL programming. The book did not cover writing programs for a GUI such as Gnome or KDE. Also there was no information about any of the Graphical IDEs. It assumed everything is done with command line tools.
