Co se děje #

Ještě před pár lety stačilo mít jasnou architekturu, pár osvědčených nástrojů a tým, který věděl, co dělá. Dneska sedíte na hoře informací a nevíte, která z nich je ještě pravda.

Každý týden vyjde nový nástroj, nová “best practice”, nový způsob nasazení, který ruší ten z minulého roku. Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD pipeline, monitoring, bezpečnost přístupů — každá z těch oblastí se sama o sobě vyvíjí rychleji, než ji jeden tým stíhá sledovat, natož zvládat všechny najednou.

The Linux Programming Interface #

Michael Kerrisk’s The Linux Programming Interface is a definitive guide to Linux and UNIX system programming. Covering over 500 system calls and library functions with clear C examples, it provides a thorough exploration of topics like file I/O, process management, multithreading, interprocess communication, and network programming. The book balances Linux-specific features (e.g., epoll, inotify) with POSIX standards, making it valuable for both Linux and UNIX developers.
