Master the Linux Tools That Will Make You a More Productive Programmer
Linux comes with an extraordinary collection of power tools for C and C++ developers.

You'll start by walking through installing, patching, and managing software development tools on your Linux system. Next, you'll discover the right tools to solve real-world problems at every stage of your project, from coding to revision control, debugging to performance optimization. Fusco's concise, practical examples are designed for clarity--and easy modification to your needs.

Sams Teach Yourself Linux in 24 Hours


Title : Sams Teach Yourself Linux in 24 Hours
Author : Bill Ball, Stephen Smoogen
ISBN : 0-672-31162-3
PDF | 400 pages

Linux (pronounced Lih-nucks) is a UNIX-like operating system that runs on many different
computers. Although many people might refer to Linux as the operating system and included
software, strictly speaking, Linux is the operating system kernel, which comes with a
distribution of software.
Linux was first released in 1991 by its author Linus Torvalds at the University of Helsinki.
Since then it has grown tremendously in popularity as programmers around the world
embraced his project of building a free operating system, adding features, and fixing
problems.
Linux is popular with today’s generation of computer users for the same reasons early versions
of the UNIX operating system enticed fans more than 20 years ago. Linux is portable, which
means you’ll find versions running on name-brand or clone PCs, Apple Macintoshes, Sun
workstations, or Digital Equipment Corporation Alpha-based computers. Linux also comes
with source code, so you can change or customize the software to adapt to your needs. Finally,
Linux is a great operating system, rich in features adopted from other versions of UNIX. We
think you’ll become a fan too!
