Linux, the Universe, and Everything
A small guide to programming and nearly everything else on Linux
Hi. I've heard many people say that they want to program, but
don't know how. There are thousands of books and tutorials on how
to program, but most of them are either way too skimpy or too
comprehensive to start out with. So I am writing this document.
My goal is to provide an introduction to C and C++ programing in a
linux environment. As such, I'm also going to cover some
interesting tricks, some shell programming, and some info on how a
Linux/Unix system behaves. I hope that this proves useful to you.
If nothing else, remember the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
mantra: Don't Panic. Learning to program will take time and
patience, but it will be rewarding. Learning how to control your
enviroment is always like that.
Because much of this guide is designed to acquaint you with a linux
environment, substantial sections of this guide should be applicable even
to those who have no interest in programming. If you have the time, please
let me know what you think of this guide, how useful it has been to you, or
any suggestions that you have for its improvement (lansdoct@alfred.edu).
