The Linux Programmers Toolbox

Quote:

Paperback: 656 pages
Data: March 16, 2007
Format: PDF
Description: Master the Linux Tools That Will Make You a More Productive, Effective Programmer

The Linux Programmer"s Toolbox helps you tap into the vast collection of open source tools available for GNU/Linux. Author John Fusco systematically describes the most useful tools available on most GNU/Linux distributions using concise examples that you can easily modify to meet your needs.

You"ll start by learning the basics of downloading, building, and installing open source projects. You"ll then learn how open source tools are distributed, and what to look for to avoid wasting time on projects that aren"t ready for you. Next, you"ll learn the ins and outs of building your own projects. Fusco also demonstrates what to look for in a text editor, and may even show you a few new tricks in your favorite text editor.

You"ll enhance your knowledge of the Linux kernel by learning how it interacts with your software. Fusco walks you through the fundamentals of the Linux kernel with simple, thought-provoking examples that illustrate the principles behind the operating system. Then he shows you how to put this knowledge to use with more advanced tools. He focuses on how to interpret output from tools like sar, vmstat, valgrind, strace, and apply it to your application; how to take advantage of various programming APIs to develop your own tools; and how to write code that monitors itself.

Next, Fusco covers tools that help you enhance the performance of your software. He explains the principles behind today"s multicore CPUs and demonstrates how to squeeze the most performance from these systems. Finally, you"ll learn tools and techniques to debug your code under any circumstances.

Linux Network Administrator's Guide (2nd Edition)

# Publisher: O'Reilly; 2 edition (June 26, 2000)
# Language: English
# ISBN-10: 1565924002
# ISBN-13: 978-1565924000


Product Description
Linux, a Unix-compatible operating system that runs on personal computers and larger servers, is valued above all for its networking strengths. The Linux Network Administrator's Guide spells out all the information needed for joining a network, whether it's a simple UUCP connection or a full LAN with a Linux system serving as a firewall, an NFS or NIS file server, and a mail and news hub.

This book, which is one of the most successful to come from the Linux Documentation Project and remains freely distributable under its license, touches on all the essential networking software included with the operating system, plus some hardware considerations. Fully updated, the book now covers firewalls, including the use of ipchains and iptables (netfilter), masquerading, and accounting. Other new topics include Novell (NCP/IPX) support and INN (news administration). Original material on serial connections, UUCP, routing and DNS, mail and News, SLIP and PPP, NFS, and NIS has been thoroughly updated. Kernel options reflect the 2.2 kernel. However, some topics covered in other books (notably Samba and web server administration) are not in this book.

Topics include:

* Introduction to TCP/IP
* Configuring network and serial hardware
* Domain Name Service
* Serial line communications using SLIP and PPP
* NIS and NFS
* Taylor UUCP
* Administering electronic mail, including sendmail and Exim
* Administering Netnews, including INN and several news readers
* Firewalling using ipfwadm, ipchains, and iptables (netfilter)
* Masquerading and accounting
* IPX configuration for a Novell Netware network
