Both are good. My personal favo- rite is Stevens' book, but then I bought APUE a long time before AUP and learned a lot from it. APUE seems to have a slightly hig- her information density (which you might consider an advantage or disadvantage). The best advice probably is to go (if possible) to a bookshop that has both in stock and try to read a bit in them and pick the one you enjoy more (or both if you can't come to a conclusion and you have the money;-) Regards, Jens You must Sign in before you can post messages.
