Through the use of detailed and realistic examples, students learn by doing, and are able to move from being a Linux beginner to creating custom applications in Linux. The book introduces fundamental concepts beginning with the basics of writing Unix programs in C, and including material on basic system calls, file I\/O, interprocess communication (for getting programs to work together), and shell programming. Parallel to this, the book introduces the toolkits and libraries for working with user interfaces, from simpler terminal mode applications to X and GTK] for graphical user interfaces. Advanced topics are covered in detail such as processes, pipes, semaphores, socket programming, using MySQL, writing applications for the GNOME or the KDE desktop, writing device drivers, POSIX Threads, and kernel programming for the latest Linux Kernel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBeginning Linux\u003csup\u003e(R)\u003c\/sup\u003e Programming 4th Edition\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuilding on the success of its previous editions, this must-have guide continues its popular tutorial approach and brings you a straightforward introduction to developing programs for Linux and other UNIX-style operating systems. The author duo of experienced Linux programmers covers a wide range of topics to help you learn more about what Linux has to offer so you can maximize your programming time and your use of the Linux system. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou'll progress from the basics of compiling programs, linking to libraries, and dealing with terminal input and output to more advanced subjects such as writing applications for the GNOME\u003csup\u003e(R)\u003c\/sup\u003e and KDE\u003csup\u003e(R)\u003c\/sup\u003e environments, storing data using MySQL\u003csup\u003e(R)\u003c\/sup\u003e, and debugging. As each topic is covered, the authors introduce an appropriate programming theory and then illustrate it with practical examples, clear explanations, and a step-by-step approach with the intent that you will learn by doing. You'll quickly evolve from being a Linux beginner to confidently creating custom applications in Linux. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat you will learn from this book\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow to use the standard Linux C libraries and other facilities\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWays to make the most of the standard Linux development tools\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTips on basic system calls, file I\/O, interprocess communication, and shell programming \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow to build graphical user interfaces using the GTK+ or Qt toolkits\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUsing sockets to support TCP\/IP networking to different machines\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow to write programs that will work on different distributions of Linux\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWho this book is for\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is for programmers and developers who want to increase their skill level using Linux.

A mathematics graduate from the University of Nottingham, Neil is just plain keen on programming languages and likes to explore new ways of solving computing problems. He's written systems to program in BCPL, FP (Functional Programming), Lisp, Prolog, and a structured BASIC. He even wrote a 6502 microprocessor emulator to run BBC microcomputer programs on UNIX systems. In terms of UNIX experience, Neil has used almost every flavor since the late 1970s, including BSD UNIX, AT\u0026amp;T System V, Sun Solaris, IBM AIX, many others, and of course Linux. He can claim to have been using Linux since August 1993 when he acquired a floppy disk distribution of Soft Landing (SLS) from Canada, with kernel version 0.99.11. He's used Linux-based computers for hacking C, C++, Icon, Prolog, Tcl, and Java at home and at work.\u003cbr\u003eAll of Neil's \"home\" projects are developed using Linux. He says Linux is much easier because it supports quite a lot of features from other systems, so that both BSD- and System V-targeted programs will generally compile with little or no change.\u003cbr\u003eNeil is currently working as an Enterprise Architect specializing in IT strategy at Celesio AG. He has a background in technical consultancy, software development techniques, and quality assurance. Neil has also programmed in C and C++ for real-time embedded systems. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRick Stones\u003c\/b\u003e started programming at school (more years ago than he cares to remember) on a 6502-powered BBC micro, which, with the help of a few spare parts, continued to function for the next 15 years. He graduated from Nottingham University with a degree in Electronic Engineering, but decided software was more fun.\u003cbr\u003eOver the years he has worked for a variety of companies, from the very small with just a dozen employees, to the very large, including the IT services giant EDS. Along the way he has worked on a range of projects, from real-time communications to accounting systems, to very large help desk systems. He is currently working as an IT architect, acting as a technical authority on various major projects for a large pan-European company.\u003cbr\u003eA bit of a programming linguist, he has programmed in various assemblers, a rather neat proprietary telecommunications language called SL-1, some FORTRAN, Pascal, Perl, SQL, and smidgeons of Python and C++, as well as C. (Under duress he even admits that he was once reasonably proficient in Visual Basic, but tries not to advertise this aberration.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 816\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.73 x 9.27 x 7.36 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 01, 2007\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51762039587104,"sku":"9780470147627","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/7777e8a46e820866f55ee3cc1432d3f3.webp?v=1780215577","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/beginning-linux-programming-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
