I am getting interested in Unix programming, but essentially starting from scratch. I've read through the first two chapters of the The Linux Programming Interface, and while I think it is a great book, so far it has not been easy for me to find points of entry. I think it might not be the best book for me to start with. I've just started How Linux Works, but I thought I might take this opportunity to ask for suggestions for someone trying to get started (doesn't have to be a book).

Raymond's The Art of Unix Programming is a good resource for understanding the design philosophy of Unix...and by extension Linux. It explains much of the context and history behind why things are done the way they are done and what good nix programs do to be good nix programs. http://www.catb.org/esr/writings/taoup/html/ http://www.catb.org/esr/writings/taoup/html/
