This book starts with good coverage of Linux, the kernel, memory, scheduling mechanisms, and filesystem operations. After those first necessary chapters, C++ is covered in depth. Some of the topics include great depth on the object model, how to handle errors, and concurrency.The level of detail in this book is truly impressive. For example, the section on handling time in Linux using C++ serves as a great reference. The C++ memory model is also covered. I believe that both novice and experienced developers can benefit from this book.Bravo!

The chapters are well-structured, making it easy to follow along and build your expertise gradually. From process management and file systems to error handling and memory management, the book covers a wide range of topics crucial for Linux system programming. The authors' ability to merge advanced C++, system programming, Linux insights, and architecture into a coherent and accessible guide is commendable. The focus on boosting code quality through system programming techniques, refining, and optimizing their codebase is truly commendable.

Too many help books out there offer a title and then wander all over the map. This one is direct and focused on the topic. If you use Linux (who doesn't?) and you want to do your dev in C++ (not me, but a helpful reference), use this book to advance your learning. The book explains the strengths of Linux, and the intricacies of C++ and then how to make the various pieces work effectively together. I can't think of a current reason to run these items together, but we all know that customers have weird requests. If you need a specific reference for these things (C++ on Linux), this is a great option.
