SPL01 System Programming in Linux

This course marks the beginning of our comprehensive journey into the System Programming in Linux environment. It is designed to guide you step by step toward a deep understanding of the internals of the Linux operating system, while simultaneously enhancing your C programming skills.

Throughout this course, we will delve into the rich history of Unix and Linux, providing you with a solid foundation of their development and evolution. Following this, we will prepare our development environment, setting the stage for a productive and insightful learning experience. We will then explore the build process in detail, culminating in the implementation of our first Unix utility. As we progress, we will gain a thorough understanding of processes, including how they function and how to manage them effectively.

In addition to theoretical knowledge, this course emphasizes practical application. We will reinforce and boost our learning through guided readings and a substantial number of coding assignments. These assignments are designed to solidify your understanding of the theory and provide hands-on experience with the concepts discussed. By the end of this course, you will have a robust understanding of Linux system programming and enhanced C programming skills, preparing you for more advanced topics in subsequent courses.
