Good books for learning C ++ programming on UNIX (pref Linux)?

Question

Could users help me with books that are good for writing C / C ++ code on a Unix platform?

My focus is on writing low latency code for use on electronic trading platforms.

(I understand that there are several threads in StackOverflow that ask for books for languages ​​in general, but my Q is specifically designed for encoding on Unix OS)

Answer 1

• Advanced Linux Programming
• W. Richard Stevens - Advanced UNIX Programming
• W. Richard Stevens - UNIX Network Programming, Volume 2, Second Edition: Inter-Process Communications
• W. Richard Stevens - UNIX Network Programming

For low latency, you really need to dig into some blogs and source some interesting open source projects, AFAIK there are no books available.

Answer 2

Advanced UNIX Programming (Second Edition) W. Richard Stevens and Stephen A. Rago, Addison-Wesley.

Answer 3

I think that probably for low-level c code on unix / linux, the gold standard might be Steven "Advanced Unix Programming." Low latency means that you want to build the code for metal, so it's about the low level you can get.

There is also nothing like Stroustrup C ++ (now in its 3rd edition), which also emphasizes clean, hard code, but with some of the benefits of C ++. But to work with low latency, you'll just use things like const, references, and encapsulation, but you might want to discard some higher-level functions, such as inheritance or exceptions.
