Could users please help me with books that are good for writing C/C++ code on the Unix platform?
My emphasis is on writing low latency code, for use in electronic trading platforms.
(I realise there are a few threads on StackOverflow asking about books for languages generally, but my Q is specifically towards coding on the Unix OS)
Is it possible to learn just the C language and work as a developer in Linux? Yes it's possible, but it's a very narrow way of thinking and can be very career-limiting.
C: The Complete Reference By Herbert Schildt This is one of the best books for learning C for both beginner and advanced level programmers.
Much of Unix kernel is written in C. Learning to program in C gives a set of low level programming tools that is unmatched by any other programming language.
For low latency you really have to dig into some blogs and the source of some cool open-source projects, AFAIK there aren't any books available..
