"Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment"
by W. Richard Stevens (Addison-Wesley) may be
very useful, if you know enough C and would
like to interface to any Unix-like operating
system (including FreeBSD).

You may be able to google up a good "C tutorial"
which uses Unix as the underlying OS.

Welcome on board and happy hacking! :)
