K1u Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Hello Hak5 community and friends. Have any of you read this book? Sams Teach Yourself C++ for LINUX in 21 Days Is this a good book? Is it informative? Thank you in advanced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I've never read it but at best it will be a good crash course, and at worst you'll waste your money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K1u Posted October 8, 2007 Author Share Posted October 8, 2007 I know the C++ language. I have not mastered it nor have I finished completely learning it. But I would like a book to guide me on programming C++ applications on Linux. Also do you know of any good books for Redhat Linux administration and security. Thank you for your reply VaKo.

jollyrancher82 Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Any 'C++ for <platform>' book will suck. C++ is the same on any platform, only the libraries are different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puredistortion Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 For Security and administration Of Redhat products I found that the RHCE study guide by Mc Graw Hill was a good book, though it does lean more towards the Administration. Though I did not find the book that great as a primer for my RHEL 5 RHCEÂ For a good book on basic Liunx Security principals I still lile Real World Linux Security: Intrusion Prevention, Detection, and Recovery by Rob Toxen, this book is a little dated as it was written in 2001, though it does have some great fundimental principals that still apply to Security and system defence today. Things such as a Layered Security and othe Defence in Depth principals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SomeoneE1se Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 You do know we are already on PHP5 and PHP6 will be out soon right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K1u Posted October 9, 2007 Author Share Posted October 9, 2007 You do know we are already on PHP5 and PHP6 will be out soon right? Yes, but PHP4 books are cheaper... I want to learn PHP... then I can learn the new functions from PHP5. First I need to learn general programming in PHP... do you understand what I mean?
