"Advance Linux Programming" is the best book, even its name is Advance linux programming but its equally good for beginers. I start my prog. from it.

Well there seems to be a major shift in development from desktops to web-browsers for many reasons for instand

1. Your program runs on multiple platforms (Windows/Mac/Linux)
2. Easier Deployment.
3. Thin Clients needed (Just web browsers)

If you want to develop client applications that are not suitable for web-browsers, then I suggest that you either use Java or Mono/CSharp. These two wonderfull environments offer you not only the advantage of being cross-platform, you also get a lot of books/online resources for both Java and CSharp Languages. Both are suitable for 90% of the projects and you can download either one from the web for free !!!.

you'll develop code a lot faster with python.

I hv done a course of my BS program at COMSATS on Unix/Linux System Programming - our instructor recomend 2 books one tht was texbook: "Unix Systems Programming by Kay A. Robins" 2nd refrence : "Begning Linus Programming br WROX"

I like the style of of USP by Robbins, this is availabe in Urdu Bazar Lahore. v good book, if u have done some work in C (pointers, Datastructers, files) then u are at right place to start working on C @ Linux.

if u consider it and want more info, regarding assignments, codes exam question papers, inform me - I will Inshalaah enteratin u
