Linux
Development Essentials
Course Description
This course is designed to bring C developers up to speed
with a variety of tools and capabilities of Linux. This includes
development and debugging tools as well as system and library
functions.
The intent is to
provide background that will be of general interest to all
Linux based developers.
Students should be prepared for some lengthy programming exercises.
Overview
This course provides substantial practice with key tools and
capabilities available to developers of Linux based applications
and system software. The course shows attendees how to use
development and debugging tools and how to make use of many
Linux system calls and library routines.
Attendees will
spend approximately 50 percent of the class time actually
gaining hands-on experience with these topics.
Course Objectives
Effectively use a variety of tools for Linux application development.
To give you practical experience in using Linux system calls
and library routines.
Compile programs with variety of options.
Use GDB to debug applications.
Use electric fence, gprof, gcov, and other tools for debugging and performance analysis.
Write a simple shell.
Create socket base applications.
Attendees will learn:
How to use GNU tools for compiling and debugging.
How to use an integrated development environment.
How to write POSIX Threaded applications
How to use system calls for such things as inter-process communication, interacting with the file system, signals, time, creating a daemon and scheduling.
Who Should Attend:
The course is for programmers who are new to Unix and Linux.
Attendees should have experience with C and be able to perform
basic Unix commands.
Duration: Four
days. (9AM - 5PM)
Course Materials
The workshop materials include a comprehensive student workbook
. The workbook contains all of the slides used in the
course as well as hands-on lab exercises.
