Writing Linux Device Drivers is designed to show experienced programmers how to develop device drivers for Linux systems, and give them a basic understanding and familiarity with the Linux kernel. Upon mastering this material, you will be familiar with the different kinds of device drivers used under Linux, and know the appropriate API's through which devices (both hard and soft) interface with the kernel. The purpose is to get you into coding as quickly as possible. Thus we'll tell you early on how to dynamically allocate memory in the simplest way, so you can actually write code, and then...

Linux Program Development is designed to bring experienced programmers up to speed quickly in a Linux environment. You will learn the tools and methods for developing C programs and doing systems programming under Linux, including: Compilers, compiling, linking and loading programs. Building and using both static and shared libraries. Using make and developing Makefiles. Version control. Debugging techniques. How system calls are made and the difference with regular library functions. The structure of Linux filesystems. File I/O functions, using both system-level and standard library calls....
