New (sort of) to Linux programming

New (sort of) to Linux programming

[Thomas Williams]

I have been using Linux now for a couple of years. I am coming from a 
Macintosh background. I've been a Macintosh programmer for over 10 years. I'm 
really interested in delving into Linux programming. I have a couple of books 
on Linux programming, but I was hoping someone could answer a couple of 
questions.

On the Mac, Apple maintains a developers section that documents all of the 
calls. Is there an equivalent in Linux? I realize that there are a lot of 
libraries and packages and that not everything is going to be on one site, 
but if there are resources for looking up the calls for a particular library, 
it would really be helpful.

Is there any sort of online tutorial or extensive How-To on Linux programming 
available anywhere?

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi !

http://gcc.gnu.org has documentation on the standard library, there you find
all the standard stuff, all other libraries has their own documentation so I
don't think you will find any common place for it all, it depends a little
on why kind of programming you want to do.

If you search on "linux programming" and "tutorial" on google you get around
87000 hits, there are plenty to choose from, I have not tried any of them
myself you that's the best I can do.

Mikael

i don't think so that there is this kind of site out there.
but if you know which library you want to use then just go to
the library's web site and i'm almost sure there'll be some docs
about its usage or just simpy install the development packages because
sometimes they have docs too.
here are some links on programming under linux :

Here are a few invaluable sources:
  "Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment" by Richard W. Stevens
  "Programming with POSIX Threads" by Butenhof
  Posix Standards

Actually, the info pages have some really good info on the C library, and
a few other libraries.

I'm not going to make the claim that this is anywhere neer complete, but its
at least the idea for which you were looking.

I think All the books by Richard W. Stevens should be with a developer on
Unix and a book Threadtime by HP Press is great for threading concepts.
