Der er gode overvejelser, men når man kigger nøjere på den skæbne selve programmet hoc (high-order calculator) har fået, så får man hurtigt den ide at det er et mareridt at lave portable programmer til at håndtere floating point aritmetik.

Description
Designed for first-time and experienced users, this book describes the UNIX® programming environment and philosophy in detail. Readers will gain an understanding not only of how to use the system, its components, and the programs, but also how these fit into the total environment.

Still a great book even after all these years. Chapters 1-5 should be read by all UNIX and Linux users. The rest of the book is useful for UNIX developers.
Just don't expect it to explain how to use X/KDE/Gnome etc.

This book, as well as "The C Programming Language" by Kernighan and Ritchie are the bibles of Unix and C programming, in my opinion. These are from the command line days, but they are still timeless reading. Highly recommended.
LibraryThing member snifty
This is one of the best technical books I've ever read. In a strange way it's still the best introduction to Linux, even though there are many outdated details. After all, _all_ technical are full of outdated details -- but it's the rare book indeed that can rise above implementation and express an

Although an updated version would be even better, it's amazing how good of an introduction to UNIX this book remains more than twenty years after its publication.

Before there was bash, before Ruby or PHP or Python or Perl, before X Windows, there was The Shell.

This book, copyright 1984, is not one's typical software read. Typical books on software deal with the latest and greatest that's coming down the pike. Instead, this book is a reminder of what is great in the UNIX operating system. It harkens back to the days when assembly coding was common and
So why is this worth a programmer's time to read over thirty years later in an era of object-orientation and machine-learning? The answer to this question is not vexing; indeed, it is simple. Great ideas transformed into great inventions deserve great study.
This book's epilog sums up this advice in describing four elements of UNIX's style:
1. "Let the machine do the work."
2. "Let other people do the work. Use programs that already exist as building blocks in your programs..."
3. "Do the job in stages. Build the simplest thing that will be useful, and let your experience with that determine what (if anything) is worth doing next."
4. "Build tools. Write programs that mesh with the existing environment, enhancing it rather than merely adding to it."

Februar 2002, besøg på Datalogi af Peter Salus.
Arrangeret af Michael Hejlskov Jacobsen (AALUG) og undertegnede.
Side vii: "The number of UNIX installations has grown to 10, with more expected." (The UNIX Programmer's Manual, 2nd Edition, June, 1972)
Side 234: We wasted a lot of time debating names for this language but never came up with anything satisfactory.
Side 234: This section describes the implementation of hoc1, a program that provides about the same capabilities as a minimal pocket calculator, and is substantially less portable.
