Summary: Not really advanced
Comment: I bought this book because I thought It would bring my Linux programming skill to another level but I was wrong(I m an SW eng doing C/C++/MFC programming and want to learn new stuffs). I would recommend the Beginning Linux Programming by (Richard Stones, Neil Matthew, Alan Cox). BLProgramming covered all the topics (except for ASM) and explained clearly with good examples than the ALProgramming. I didn't see any advanced topics or new technics or in depth coverages. Whatever this book says, the Beginning Linux Programming say better and in depth.
Go to the book store and review yourself.
I usually buy books recommended by the users so i want to return something with this review. Thanks.

Summary: Easy read for Beginning / Intermediate Linux programmer
Comment: As some other reviewers had mentioned, do not be intimitated by the "advanced" word in the title. The book goes through a lot of more advanced aspect of Linux programming, especially towards the end, but it gives such a good introduction to linux beginners and have such nice pace throughout the book that any newbie would become totally familiar with linux programming after finished reading this text.
First section: Getting started. If you've ever written program in Linux, you'd be familiar with things in this section. It acts as a good reference to things like using GCC, makefile, GNU debugger, etc.
Second 3 and 4 dive into processes and thread. The author spend decent amoung of time explainning the differences between the two, and how both of them work internally. Fork() system(), exec() pthread_create() and other functions are covered in details. The author also give enough word on how to clean things up.
Some system calls are discussed, as well as how linux interacts with devices (/dev) and the /proc directory. Security was given a full chapter in the book. Sure there could have been more on writing secured codes, but it really is out of the scope of this book.
The author gives simple examples as he progresses, and there's one big example at the end that would give you a extremely clear idea how all the things mentioned in the book can be integrated. The GNU http server is one of the best example I'd seen in programming books.
This book is one of the best written Linux programming book.

Summary: Not good for beginning but it's not an advanced book
Comment: I don't think this is considered as an advanced linux since it doesn't cover anything new, in depth, new techniques or tricks . I bought the beginning linux programming and it's much better in covering many topics with excellent examples. Check out yourself.
