I think I will start with Python programming.

Thanks!

Thanks for the selection. I am currently working on learning C++ and Perl myself.

Fast CGI Books in UNIX/C/C++ Platform

Hi Friends,

Am looking for BOOK that is exclusively for
FastCGI web development in UNIX (of course FreeBSD)
using C or C++

Please let me know, if any one have read such/related books

Thanks in Advance

 

[calande]

A book on C++ webdev would be cool. In the meantime, there is the web.

 

[neural_adapter]

I would also include "C Primer Plus" and "Unix Power Tools". Seconding apue.

C++ -

The C++ Programming Language - Bjarne Stroustrup

If people really want a bang for their buck, I suggest they wait until C++0x becomes standard. But this book should cover everything from top-bottom about C++. This book is not recommended for beginners.

 

[roddierod]

Dive into Python is free online

 

[dap]

Official Python tutorial
The C book - good C89 ebook
C unleashed - I didn't read it yet, but it has a very good reputation
Advanced programming in the Unix environment

Don't think there's much if anything.
For FastCGI, a good reference would be the sapi/cgi/fastcgi.* in the PHP source. When you have the framework to be run as fastcgi daemon in place, all that's left is CGI itself, of which there are plenty of books.

Design Patterns by the Gang of Four (GoF; Gamma, Helm, Johnson, Vissides) is an excellent read for any aspiring OO programmer.

Fowler's Refactoring and Hunt & Thomas's The Pragmatic Programmer is worth reading as well.

Unix shell scripting with sh/ksh seems to be a nice, well-laid out free tutorial with a good coverage of the basics, and a few advanced tips thrown in as well. Another plus is that it's not BASH-centric.

There's also shelldorado, but I haven't looked over that as much -so take it for what it is (or isn't) worth.
