238: <p>
239: The book is about UNIX system administration with BSD. It is aimed at
240: readers that know about computers, but not nescessarily about UNIX. It
241: covers UNIX basics, BSD installation, various system administration
242: tasks, TCP/IP networking, firewalls setups, package systems, "classic"
243: services such as web, DNS and Internet mail, and disaster management.
244: </p>
245: <p>
246: The primary focus of the book is of course BSD, but whenever it is possible,
247: the author tried to give the reader a broader view of how things works on
248: other UNIX systems (e.g. : System V and Linux, sometimes Mac OS X). The idea
249: is to give the reader a strong BSD knowledge, but also a good UNIX culture.

407: In his second book, the author of <a href="#0-201-79940-5" target="_top">Code Reading</a>
408: continues his analysis of popular Open Source projects, this time
409: focussing on non-functional requirements such as “<span class="quote">reliability,
410: security, portability and maintainability as well as efficiency in time and
411: space</span>”, in short: on <span class="emphasis"><em>Code Quality</em></span>.
412: </p>
413: <p>
414: Once again, Spinellis uses a snapshot of NetBSD 1.5_ALPHA to show
415: the reader how to detect logic problems, problematic APIs, how to
416: manage heap and stack memory efficiently as well as how to enhance
417: maintainability and stability through thorough and systematic checks
418: and test.

433: "Fact: If you make a habit of reading good code, you will write better code
434: yourself."
435: </p>
436: <p>
437: In this book, the author covers one of the most important tasks faced by
438: programmers every day: reading and understanding existing code. He
439: thoroughly explains basic programming elements, project design as well as
440: coding standards and conventions, concluding with a real life example of how
441: to extend a given program by reading code from various sources and improving
442: on it.
443: </p>
444: <p>
445: The vast majority of the code examples in the book are based on NetBSD source
446: code (a snapshot of NetBSD 1.5_ALPHA is part of the software of the
447: accompanying CD-ROM), because the NetBSD Project's emphasis on "correct design
448: and well-written code" makes it "a superb choice for providing example source
449: code."

559: From the inside flap: "The goal of this book is to provide practical
560: information on the issues operating systems must address in order to run
561: on modern computer systems that employ cache memories and/or multiprocessors.
562: At the time of this writing, a number of books describe UNIX system
563: implementations, but none describes in detail how caches and multiprocessors
564: should be managed. Many computer architecture books describe caches and
565: multiprocessors from the hardware aspect, but none successfully deals with
566: the operating system issues that these modern architectures present. This
567: book is intended to fill these gaps by bridging computer architecture and
568: operating systems." Highly recommended for its organization and
569: thoroughness. <a href="http://www.awprofessional.com/catalog/product.asp?product_id=%7B963653BF-E0CC-42A4-9264-4263A2237562%7D" target="_top">More details</a>.
