An excellent introduction to operating system principles Probably the best aspect of the book is the fact that Bic and Shaw stress fundamental concepts, instead of using examples from specific operating systems like Unix. And although the book is rather old, the information in the Second Edition is very necessary today to the design of operating systems. The book begins with elementary concepts, such as concurrent programming methods, the deadlock problem, and process scheduling and goes on to explore protection problems and various security issues. The exercises at the end of each chapter and the overall textbook style make it a must for the operating system student. ... Read more |

Editorial Review Product Description The first edition of The Practice of System and Network Administration introduced a generation of system and network administrators to a modern IT methodology. Whether you use Linux, Unix, or Windows, this newly revised edition describes the essential practices previously handed down only from mentor to protégé. This wonderfully lucid, often funny cornucopia of information introduces beginners to advanced frameworks valuable for their entire career, yet is structured to help even the most advanced experts through difficult projects. The book's four major sections build your knowledge with the foundational elements of system administration. These sections guide you through better techniques for upgrades and change management, catalog best practices for IT services, and explore various management topics. Chapters are divided into The Basics and The Icing. When you get the Basics right it makes every other aspect of the job easier--such as automating the right things first. The Icing sections contain all the powerful things that can be done on top of the basics to wow customers and managers. Inside, you'll find advice on topics such as It's no wonder the first edition received Usenix SAGE's 2005 Outstanding Achievement Award! This eagerly anticipated second edition updates this time-proven classic: Customer Reviews (31)

Following a brief review of data mining and agent technology fields, the book presents a methodology for developing multi-agent systems, describes available open-source tools, and demonstrates the application of the methodology on three different cases. |

Sady, not what I was hoping for.
Reprint even if it IS available online
Great book It also explains complex concepts in simple, elegant ways, just like good programs should be written. I would recommend it to anyone learning FORTH, and I would recommend sections of it for people trying to understand specific concepts in any language.For example, the explanation of stacks was excellent!
A Truly Amazing Book "Starting Forth" is the only Forth book I own. After reading it, I was able to implement a Forth runtime system, compiler, and interpreter, from scratch, in 8086 assembly - the results can be found at home.earthlink.net/~jknapka/jkf.html . I credit this mainly to Leo Brodie's skill as an expository writer. The book is a gem; if someone were to reprint it, I for one would buy several copies, just in case. The reason no one will reprint "Starting Forth" is that Forth is not sufficiently trendy. If we rename the language "JavaForth", we'll be drowning in reprints... Sigh.
An excellent programming introduction, not just to FORTH Why onearth is this fabulous book out of print? ... Read more |

Editorial Review Product Description This book is about writing software that makes the most effective use of the system you're running on -- code that interfaces directly with the kernel and core system libraries, including the shell, text editor, compiler, debugger, core utilities, and system daemons. The majority of both Unix and Linux code is still written at the system level, and Linux System Programming focuses on everything above the kernel, where applications such as Apache, bash, cp, vim, Emacs, gcc, gdb, glibc, ls, mv, and X exist.

Needs to be read along with other books
A great book for learning about real-time systems. The book contains a lot of interesting examples, starting slow with air conditioning/heating unit examples, to smart traffic lights, and on to more complicated ones such as NASA's Mars Odyssey, NASA's X-38 crew return vehicle avionics, and the Space Shuttle Orbital Maneuvernig and Reaction Control Systems. The author does a good job of explaining complicated concepts.

Good First O/S Book The one drawback is a tendency to get rather wordy in some sections and ramble on a bit. Taken as a whole, however, this is a very worthwhile textbook.
easy to read and up-to-date So is easy-to-read. Any tiny lack of details could bemisleading, that's the impression I got while reading this book, I keepasking why, how, such kind of questions. It seems to be the generaldrawback of OS textbook, so ambicious that try to cover all the aspect, tooambicious to cover all the aspect. Anyway, it's a good and expensivebook. Easier than Tanenbaum's classics, and up-to-date. Could be a goodchoice for your first OS book. ... Read more |

Editorial Review Product Description How, then, to begin the song of praises for the book? Let's start with its comprehensiveness. The authors--a whole passel of them, but miraculously consistent in style--deal with every subject that's central to the Unix universe. Their diligence extends even to detailed coverage of subjects (like the Domain Name System (DNS)) that many authorial squads omit. System administrators need to understand it all--it's good to see everything covered in one book. Of course, you still will need more focused texts for really complicated situations, but the coverage here will carry you a long way. Although you probably will want to read this book cover to cover eventually, you might first look at the index, which typically will guide you to a couple of sections. First, an overview of the subject that interests you will explain what the service or feature is meant to do, what it isn't meant to do, and how (in fairly general terms) it does its job. You'll find four sections--one each on the relevant configuration facts of the four emphasized Unix variants. These sections aren't presented as explicit sequences of steps (which invariably leave the reader asking, "But, what if... " anyway), but as narratives that are interspersed with commands and configuration file listings. The approach works well, and it's made even better by the syntax summaries and conceptual diagrams that pop up now and then. --David Wall Topics covered: Administration of Unix systems, with specific reference to Solaris 2.7, HP-UX 11.00, Red Hat Linux 6.2, and FreeBSD 3.4. Administration is a broad subject, and the authors touch on most of its aspects, including user and file operations (basic and advanced), hardware configuration, and kernel tweaking. Networking coverage includes basic connectivity, routing, server software, DNS, and security. Customer Reviews (49)

TCP/IP Lean excellent purchase
Excellent Introduction to embedded TCP/IP
Ideal for anyone who must understand the internals of TCP/IP This book does not describe BSD Sockets or any APIs. It really only covers the author's thin "API" which is really a kernel interface. That is why it's best as a low-level book, as I mentioned before UNIX Network Programming is the book you want if you need a high-level view of TCP/IP and networking in general. Perhaps the most important feature of this book is that it tries to take you from nothing to having a TCP/IP stack in the most direct route possible. It does not try to insert all possible optimization, and infact it recommends ignoring various TCP/IP features for your first pass because they are rarely used. (For example, It mentions that without additional handling, the implementation presented can only handle 4.3Gb of data transfer per connection. This is when the sequence number address space wraps around). I consider this a good thing, keeping it simple so you can get a workable system as quickly as possible is the best route. You can bog yourself down in the details after you get a rough draft working. I'd recommend this book as a text book for undergrad courses in TCP/IP and networking implementation, especially as a complement to any other low-level Operating Systems courses.
Disjointed documentation of the Author's Software If you are attempting to learn networking protocols in general, there are higher quality books available. If your goal is to learn a network stack on an embedded processor (In particular the PIC), this is not a bad book as source code is included. To be successful and focused on the software, you'll need to invest another [$] for the PCW version of CCS's compiler, and another [$] for the Microchip PIC.net demo board (Unless you have very good prototyping skills). Note that the first edition of this book comes with the Microchip PIC.net demo board which is sufficent.
Not as great as anticipated Unfortunately, after having the book for two weeks now, I can tell you that I've gotten far more value out of Stevens' "TCP/IP Illustrated" series. The source code included on the CD-ROM is licensed for personal use only, and it appears that probably %90 of the code is included in hardcopy format inside the book. Finally, the network traces are practically unreadable: it would have been easier to read if the author had used tcpdump, instead of his own style of printf's. What I wanted was a concise guide to how to strip down TCP/IP to get it running on small systems: what I could delete, what I had to keep, and the tradeoffs of doing so.When I finish filtering through all the source code and simply focus on the text, that may be what I end up with. But since I don't have much time, the book will probably sit on the floor, and I'll keep Stevens on the desk. ... Read more |
