Not sure if you have noticed it already, we are doing more Linux book reviews this year. It’s a way to introduce you to interesting new Linux books that you may want to explore.
Take Linux Kernel Programming book, for example. It’s an excellent resource with hands-on approach to get into kernel development.
I hope you enjoy learning about these books.
