Solaris Systems Programming

Front Cover
Addison-Wesley, 2005 - Computers - 1211 pages

This book is one that any Solaris systems programmer will want on their shelf.

Sun Microsystems' Solaris Operating Environment boasts a significant installed

base, but the intricacies of programming in this UNIX environment have been

previously unaddressed in book format. In this thorough new book, the author

provides context that allows the reader to better understand the subtleties of

the Solaris Operating Environment. He explains not only the "how's" but also

the "why's" of Solaris programming, complete with a brief history of the

operating system. The result is a comprehensive text that Solaris practitioners

will refer to time and again as they face and overcome the significant challenges

of their everyday work.
