Linux is operating system as dos unix and windows. It is not a language. So the question may be formulated as: how to install or how to use or which Linux system is available?

Erm, since this is the C/C++ programming section, it is presumed that the question is in regards to programming for *NIX using C/C++.

I've actually answered this question elsewhere (a thing about good programming books, with a description, estimated difficulty level, etc.). So, to answer your question here are two I would specifically recommend for programming in a *NIX environment. The second book is more specialised, but does involve a little more than just network programming. The first is an absolute MUST.

UNIX system programming : a programmer's guide to software development / 1999 / Keith Haviland, Dina Gray, Ben Salama. / Advanced+

This is a more complicated book, based in C, that starts with the basic system calls, fork(), exec(), etc, and moves onto more advanced topics such as IPC, network calls, shared memory, and a whole lot more that I haven't even had a chance to touch on yet. Very, very good book for *NIX programmers.

UNIX network programming / 1990 / W. Richard Stevens. / Advanced+

An older book about network programming. Some parts are not as commonly used today, but others are still as pertinent to network programming today as it was then. A good read.


In addition to those books, man pages are extremely useful. Use them a lot.

Web pages:

Ju Rao's Computer Books -- This page has incredible amounts of books about everything. There's quite a few links to books about *NIX programming here.

Here are a few links to some of the books on the page above. I'm sure there's a lot more, but these stood out.

Advance Linux Programming
UNIX System Calls and Subroutines using C

As I said, there's a heck of a lot more around than that, but that's enough to get you started. Google is also invaluable. tongue.gif

Anyway, good luck with your coding, and be sure to start up some convos here if anything stumps you.

  5. Discussion On Dynamic Programming
    (3)
    Dynamic Programming is one of the powerful programming approach now a day. DP applicable when sub
    problems share sub sub problems. (No independent sub problems). Solve each sub problem once, save
    the answer, and when needed use the previously computed result. Like for Fibonacci series. To get
    f(n+1) we need addition of f(n), f(n-1) and for f(n) we need f(n-1), f(n-2). so to get f(n+1) we
    need f(n) and f(n-1) and again for f(n) we need f(n-1) and f(n-2). In this approach we are
    calculating same thing more then once . That is a very bad idea. But what if we store the data....

  9. C Programming: Arrays
    A Clear Description of Arrays (4)
    C programming provides a capability that enables a user to design a set of similar data types,
    called Arrays. For understanding the arrays properly, let us consider the following program CODE
    main() { int x; j=5 j=10; printf("\nj= %d",x); } No doubt, this program will print the value
    of j as 10. This is because when a value 10 is assigned to j, the earlier value of j, i.e. 5, is
    lost. Thus, ordinary variables are capable of holding only one value at a time. However, there are
    situations in which we would want to store more than one value at a time in a single ....

  12. Detailed C Beginner Tut

    QUOTE The best way to learn programming is to dive right in and start writing real programs.
    This way, concepts which would otherwise seem abstract make sense, and the positive feedback you get
    from getting even a small program to work gives you a great incentive to improve it or write the
    next one. Diving in with ``real'' programs right away has another advantage, if only
    pragmatic: if you're using a conventional compiler, you can't run a fragment of a program
    and see what it does; nothing will run until you have a complete (if tiny or trivial) prog....

    memory inbetween 32-64, etc all the way up to 2048 which is the max allocatable memory. Now the way
    my malloc is to work is that it first will run through my list to see if any memory is available
