The book, Linux System Programming: System and Library Calls Every Programmer Needs To Know, is a tutorial guide that enables programmers to create software that completely utilizes the current OS, and code that links to the kernel and other important system libraries. Almost all Unix and Linux programs are coded at machine level, and linux system programming emphasizes on things higher than the kernel. This book aims at equipping programmers/ engineers to code at low level and is extremely beneficial for programmers. Though there is an increase in use of high-level languages such as PHP and C#, somebody has to develop interpreters and compilers for these languages. This book helps programmers in gaining sound knowledge of core concepts that help in creating efficient code. Born in the year 1981, the author Robert Love is a writer, orator, and engineer at Google. The author hails from South Florida, and completed his B.A Mathematics and B.Sc. in Computer Science.
