Professional Linux Programming

n this follow-up to the best-selling Beginning Linux Programming, you will learn from the authors’ real-world knowledge and experience of developing software for Linux; you’ll be taken through the development of a sample ‘DVD Store’ application, with ‘theme’ chapters addressing different aspects of its implementation. Meanwhile, individual ‘take-a-break’ chapters cover important topics that go beyond the bounds of the central theme. All focus on the practical aspects of programming, showing how crucial it is to choose the right tools for the job, use them as they should be used, and get things right first time.
