I've scheduled two further public iterations of my Linux/UNIX System Programming course in Munich, Germany, in April and June, and I hope to announce a San Francisco date soon as well. (I'm also
available to give on-demand tailored versions of the course onsite at
customer premises, in Europe, the US, and further afield.)
The 5-day course is intended for programmers developing system-level, embedded, or network applications for Linux and UNIX systems, or programmers porting such applications from other operating systems (e.g., Windows) to Linux or UNIX. The course is based on my book, The Linux Programming Interface (TLPI), and covers topics such as low-level file I/O;
signals and timers; creating processes and executing programs; POSIX
threads programming; interprocess communication (pipes, FIFOs, message
queues, semaphores, shared memory), network programming (sockets), and
server design.
The course has a lecture+lab format, and
devotes substantial time to working on some carefully chosen programming
exercises that put the "theory" into practice. Students receive a copy
of TLPI, along with a 600-page course book containing the more than 1000
slides that are used in the course. A reading knowledge of C is
assumed; no previous system programming experience is needed.
Some useful links for anyone interested in the course:
- course overview (includes sample course materials, course dates and locations, and prices);
- course topic list; and
- information about the trainer (i.e., me).
