    A draft of Eric S. Raymond's new book[^]. OK, so it's not Windows but I thought it would be of interest to enough people to be worth posting. He's looking for contributions as well. The effect I'm trying for here is almost Talmudic, with periodic bits of commentary by revered elders adding both depth and color to the mainline text. The rule for who makes it into this revered-elder class is simple: if every Unix hacker has probably heard your name, you're eligible Do you qualify? :laugh::rolleyes::|

          Wow, I'm surprised that Addison-Wesley would blemish their reputation by publishing some diatribe by ESR.

                Whilst I'm sure the book provides an excellent insight into the Unix operating system, I don't approve of the way he bashed NT in his comparison with other operating systems. Much of what he says is not even based in fact. -- Andrew.

                    From a position of complete ignorance on UNIX programming, and based solely on the rhetoric from the UNIX programming camp (especially the open source demogogues), isn't the title The Art of UNIX Programming a contradiction in terms?
