I'll gladly fill this gap with two "no brainer" recommendations: 1. W. Richard Stevens - "Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment" 2. W. Richard Stevens - "UNIX Network Programming" (2 volume edition) Just being in the presence of those books makes you a better programmer. Think of what happens when you actually read and understand them! Highly recommended. Every page a gem. -- Cheers, Bernard
