C Programming in Linux By David Haskins. C programming language is built right into the core of Linux and Unix Operating Systems. The design idea behind Unix was to write an operating system in C so all you needed to port it to a new architecture was a C compiler. Linux is essentially the success story of a series of earlier attempts to make a PC version of Unix. A knowledge of C is now and has been for years a pre-requisite for serious software professionals and with the recent popularity and maturity of Open Systems this is even more true. A knowledge of C will give you deep knowledge of what is going on beneath the surface of higher-level languages like Java. The syntax of C pretty-well guarantees you will easily understand other languages that came afterwards like C++, Java, Javascript, and C#. C gives you access to the heart of the machine and all its resources at a fine-grained bit-level. This book presumes you are using the Linux operating system with either the KDE3.5, KDE4, or Gnome desktop. Specific instructions are included for Ubuntu ( and Kubuntu ) and OpenSuse 11.
