The Linux Development Platform

To be honest, I didn't go throught the whole contents yet. However, I found the chapter on (GNU) make utility is the best I ever read. It is clear, thorough, and practical. For example, I really like the section on how to organize a project with multiple make files and subdirectories. In addition, the author also did good job explaining compilers. In all, I think it is a great book for those who already know some programming basics and want to start serious developments on Linux.
