Webmaster book reviews
The C Programming Language
This is the book for anyone contemplating programming in C.
The Elements Of Programming Style
This book introduces you to the subject of writing good code rather than just code that works
Software Tools
If you ever write more than 100 lines of any language then you must read this book.
The Unix Programming Environment
Another book co-authored by Brian Kernighan... so you know it is well written
Red Hat Linux Unleashed
This is probably the best introduction to getting Linux installed, up and doing what you want.
Running Linux
If you are only going to buy one book in the Red Hat set then this is it.
Linux In A Nutshell
O Reilly usually do a wonderful job in their Nutshell series but it should be said that this is not the
best of them
Building A Linux Internet Server
Once you understand Linux, this book is a good guide to all the issues involved in getting your box connected
to the net.
Maximum RPM
Once you have Red Hat Linux installed and you want to upgrade part of your system you will come across a
software package called the Red Hat Package Manager
Running A Perfect Web Site With Apache
With a title like that you might think this book is heading for a fall and you would not be too wrong.
Apache: The Definitive Guide
Another book with a grandiose title. This is a better book, not only cheaper but endorsed by the Apache
people.
Apache Server for Dummies
The cheapest book on the Apache server and not bad, but I preferred the Nutshell guide as it was more comprehensive.
Apache Server: Administrator's Handbook
Here is a book that will come in very handy once you know what you are doing (or are happy doing the learning
on the job)
Apache Server Bible
For me this book was a little too much spoonfeeding and jumped a bit too much back to the total novice level
Learning Perl
If you have little experience with programming, buy this book now!
Programming Perl
Written by the man who designed Perl and the demigods in the Perl universe this is the essential, definitive
book on the language.
Perl Cookbook
Ok, so you have read the other books and written some fairly good Perl code, you might even be a good programmer
in other languages.
The CGI/Perl Cookbook
The Common Gateway Interface (CGI) is the way you interface software to HTML and your web server.
