In addition to C, what else do I need to know to program in the Minix environment?
A classic book is Brian Kernighan and Rob Pike’s Unix Programming Environment, unfortunately now out of print, but check Amazon.com or other sources of used books. This book emphasizes the use of small programs that do parts of large jobs, and suggests starting with shell scripts, replacing standard commands in the script with custom C programs as needed until the overall system is able to the job at hand well enough. The same authors’ newer book The Practice of Programming (1999) is also of interest, although probably not as useful to a beginning programmer. W. Richard Stevens’ Advanced Programming in the UNIX(R) Environment is another book with a wealth of information about how to use the resources provided by a Unix-like environment, but it also is not a beginner’s book.
