Someone asked me recently what is the best resource for learning the Linux shell (she uses Ubuntu) but I really couldn't pinpoint one since I picked it up by just doing over time. But I am sure there are some books or, better yet, internet resources where one can find instructive ways of learning Linux and spreading the good word of *Nix...

I need to get the memory usage of the current process in C. Can someone offer a code sample of how to do this on a Linux platform?
