[ale] starting programming

[Mark Cotner]

Tri,
First, I'd like to introduce myself since this is my first post to this list
as I just recently joined.  My name is Mark Cotner and I am a UNIX(mostly
Solaris and Linux) System Administrator for MediaOne Express Cable Modem
Service here in Atlanta.  It's great to see that such an organization(ale)
exists here, and I am happy to add anything I may.

Second, a while back I purchased a book that is great for learning C, shell,
and it covers TCL briefly as well.  The best part is that it was written
specifically for Linux programmers so you know that most exercises will
apply without modification straight from the text.  Here's the info:

Beginning Linux Programming:  WROX Press
c. 1996   ISBN:  1-874416-68-0
http://www.wrox.com

I've found it to be a great resource so I thought I'd share.

'njoy,
Mark
