Learn Linux System Programming with C++: Unlocking the Kernel's Secrets. Are you ready to dive deep into the heart of your computer? Linux, the operating system that powers everything from smartphones to supercomputers, is a complex and fascinating world. To truly master it, you need to understand how it interacts with hardware at the lowest level. That's where system programming comes in. This book is your passport to this exciting domain. You'll learn to wield the power of C++, the language of choice for kernel development, to interact directly with the Linux kernel. Imagine being able to create high-performance network applications, develop custom device drivers, or optimize system performance. With a deep understanding of Linux system programming, these aren't just dreams, they're achievable goals. We'll start from the ground up, covering essential concepts like system calls, process management, memory management,and file IO. You'll learn how to interact with the kernel, create user-space applications, and even explore the world of kernel modules. C++ offers the power and flexibility to interact directly with hardware, making it the language of choice for performance-critical applications. Linux, with its open-source philosophy and rich ecosystem, provides the perfect platform for exploration and innovation. Together, they form an unstoppable duo. But this isn't just about theory. Practical examples and hands-on exercises will solidify your understanding. You'll build real-world projects, from simple command-line tools to more complex system utilities.
