University Adoption of "The Linux Programming Interface" as Course Textbook
By

Half-baked but well-meaning. A passing snack.
Summary
The author of "The Linux Programming Interface" (TLPI) book has discovered that university teachers are using it as required or recommended reading for Linux/UNIX system programming courses, despite not originally targeting the academic market. The author is seeking feedback from university instructors using the book to improve future editions for educational use.

· 3 pulledAlthough I didn't specifically target TLPI at the university market as I wrote it, by now I've had emails from a number of university teachers who are using TLPI as a required text or as recommended reading for courses on Linux or UNIX system programming.
I'm very interested to find out more details about the use of TLPI in university courses, with the idea in mind of improving a future edition of the book for use in that market.
If you are a university teacher using TLPI as a course book, please drop me a mail to let me know.
