This ebook, [I]An Operating Systems Vade Mecum[/I], by Rapheal Finkel, is an out of print text which is available as a PDF file (1.16 mb in size).
A vade mecum (pronounced "VAHdee MAYkem") is a laboratory manual that guides the student step by step through complex procedures. Operating systems are complex mixtures of policy and mechanism, of algorithm and heuristic, and of theoretical goals and practical experience. This vade mecum tries to unify these diverse points of view and guide the novice step by step through the complexities computer operating systems. As a text, this book is intended for a first course in operating systems at the undergraduate level.
This site gives you the nuts and bolts view of how to get things going in Linux in the shortest amount of time. No need to wade through lots of documentation.

These include the following: C, C++, C# (CSharp), Java Programming, Cisco CCNA, Citrix, Linux, Mac OS X, VOIP, AutoCAD, GUI Design, Flash, Dreamweaver, HTML, PHP, MySQL, Perl, Apache, Securing your Network, VPN, Wireless, IPSec, Microsoft.Net.Remoting, Speech Recognition, Check Point Certifications, PC Hardware, Web Services, Visual Basic .Net (VBdotNet), Python, Unix, Windows XP, SQL, Oracle, UML, Extreme Programming, and Game Programming.
This is a free Wecast Series for Microsoft ASP.NET 2.0, sponsored by Microsoft, Dr. Dobb’s, and O’Reilly. You can select from 45 webcasts in 3 categories: JSP, PHP, and ColdFusion. The webcasts include free training content contributed by Dr. Dobb’s and O’Reilly. Select the category you’re most familiar with, and then pick the webcast topics you want to learn more about. When you attend three webcasts, you’ll receive an ASP.NET 2.0 Development Pack, including Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition, and five chapters of Programming ASP.NET 2.0 Core Reference, by Dino Esposito.
ASP.NET 2.0 for JSP Developers: www.learn2asp.net/JSP/Campaign.aspx Take what you already know about object-oriented programming and learn how to develop and deploy ASP.NET features.
ASP.NET 2.0 for PHP Developers: www.learn2asp.net/PHP/Campaign.aspx Learn how ASP.NET 2.0 provides an object-oriented, event driven programming model for developing Web pages while maintaining a measure of simplicity that PHP developers are accustomed to.
ASP.NET 2.0 for ColdFusion Developers: www.learn2asp.net/CF/Campaign.aspx Start with an introduction to ASP.NET 2.0 for ColdFusion developers. Then move on to learn how to build master pages and themes, and create code in ASP.NET 2.0.
This site contains several good programming and software development ebooks. Subjects covered include Java, J2EE, JBoss, EJB, C++, Perl, Javascript, Solaris, UML, Extreme Programming, Refactoring, Rational Unified Process (RUP), Patterns, and Use Cases. Some of these are in .bz2 format, which needs to be uncompressed after downloaded. (7-zip.org can be used to uncompress .bz2 files.)
If you want to learn how to modify the Linux kernel and how to evaluate the impact of the changes you made (we call this kind of programming, kernel hacking) then you won't find as much documentation as in the case of installing and using Linux. In fact, you can find almost anything on the net, except it is scattered around many places and not all the documents you will find are outstanding, while many are obsolete.
So, the ambitious goal of this Kernel hacking course is to describe in a coherent many of the things you should know to become a reasonable kernel hacker.
