Turns out, nothing substantial had been published since the 1980s.
The best reference I've found on this is The Art of Unix Programming, which was published in 2003:
https://www.amazon.com/UNIX-Programming-Addison-Wesley-Professional-Computng/dp/0131429019 https://www.amazon.com/UNIX-Programming-Addison-Wesley-Profe...
The book is also online for free:

User Interface Design Patterns: http://www.catb.org/~esr/writings/taoup/html/ch11s06.html http://www.catb.org/~esr/writings/taoup/html/ch11s06.html
Still it's nice to see this knowledge circulating!

- veddox 6y agoAn excellent book! It was one of the first software development books I read and still shapes my programming style. I probably ought to read it again though, I suspect I would understand a lot of it a lot better now...
