Hi
I want to begin programming on linux.
After some search on Amazon I found "Linux Program Development: a guide with exercises" by Dr Jerry Cooperstein.
Did anyone read this book? and suggest this book?
which book do you suggest for beginning ?

Thanks in advance

Not sure what others would do, I would first learn a language (such as C). For cross-platform languages, you can probably do a lot without anything Linux specific. I would also take a look at the Linux system calls (there's a list at linux.die.net).

I've never read the book (I can't remember reading a Linux specific programming book), but I've gotten pretty far anyway. I started my programming by reading an online copy of The C Book. I think it has exercises, too. Just get a copy of some text editor (one with syntax highlighting helps) and make sure your distro has a C compiler and go with it!

I can recommend
this

it's got a nice mix of stuff.
and it's of interest still now, it's not
a kiddies book.

and

there's the classic
the art of unix programming
(available hardcopy too, worth buying)
which is my favourite geek book. more about culture and
concepts than actual coding.
coding is only part of programming.

I started reading it and came to the conclusion that I needed a more solid base; in my case, the C Language. Neil Matthew and Richard Stones don't seem to be locked up in a padded room some where so the book is actually written to be understood. It's a brief overview of the entire process. You may have to expand on the topics but you will know what it is you need to expand on. Amazon sells it and my interpretation is the same as the other reviewers.
