Title: C programming, and me
Post by: sirdiesalot1112 on 3 September 2002, 20:47: Hello all, I am a beginning programmer/hex0r using slackware linux and I am wondering.. what are some good C books both e-books and REAL books that i should have a look at. I am hoping there is a book that totaly covers the tcp/ip protocol, as that may come in handy...

Thanks in advance!

http://www.hiraeth.com/alan/tutorials/courses/tcpip.html (http://www.hiraeth.com/alan/tutorials/courses/tcpip.html)

And I have a book called "Advanced programming in the UNIX environment" that is an excellent book. It is pretty old now but everything should still be valid. There was a section on socket programming if I recall. So it's not targeted toward TCP/IP programming but still a great read.

in the top right of the page, there's the link of it as a pdf so you can download it to your local drive.

Post by: sirdiesalot1112 on 4 September 2002, 01:08: Tux, I plan to learn C++ as well, I was under the impresstion C was a bit easyer. and would help me to learn C++ faster... any books on C++ would be great too.

also anything on IPX/Novell would be great too.

I would like to let ya all know I am not really using this knowlage to break into computers (that is phun tho (http://smile.gif) ) but rather to further develop my understanding of computers, and to toubleshoot my own networks/programs in the future.

Thanks guys!

ick, are you serious? IPX is yesterday's news. Even Novell has switched to TCP/IP. There surely are still many IPX networks around but they will be extinct soon.

Post by: Calum on 4 September 2002, 03:58: i have heard that C will teach you bad habits if you want to learn C++ or Java.

Maybe it is best to skim C but get into the meat of C++ asap. i plan to do this. I am just moving from html to javascript to give me an idea of logic and structure. all my C experience has been incredibly passive, but i plan when i am getting round to C to not spend a lot of time there. to start afresh with C++.

And that's what it says in the Sam's Learn C++ in 24 hours book anyway!

Post by: sirdiesalot1112 on 4 September 2002, 06:27: I got "Sam's teach yourself C in 24Hours," excelent book. In case anyone else reads this and wants to learn C, after all we aren't just helping me out, right?

I saw a book for linux programming in C++... I also have a fat .pdf file. But I am unable to loacate it at the moment. If I find it I will post it on my site, downloads section (http://www.linux-freeks.cjb.net) plz dont make fun. While your there, maybe donate E-books my email is posted on the site, OR email me at [email protected] (I check this one every day) with the text-file(s)

but anyway... back to the subject, I wanted to learn the IPX aka "old novell" protocol because there are ALOT of them still around, and IPX isn't totally useless.
