To properly answer your question I would like to know how are the
students going to use the book? Is the result for writing small
interpreted scripts, or are we looking at OS system design principals.
As you can see there is a wide variable.
From what I read from your request is that the professor is looking for
some very basic beginner programming.
Here's my list:
Title Author Publisher
Beginning Linux Programming Neil Matthew & Wrox
Richard Stones
Linux Unleashed Husain, Parker, et al Sams
These are very basic books that cover everything from C to the various
interperted languages
In my bioinformatics class, the 'programming' seemed to involve invoking
programs [BLAST] and processing their output. Our programs usually
involved mainly text processing - which is why I suggested Perl rather
than C.
BTW Linux Unleashed is a horrid book.
