The Linux Application Programming hands-on course teaches you how to use the Linux system calls and library functions for writing system and application programs in C.  

• Learn to write portable, open programs that range in complexity from simple file I/O to network applications.  
• Gain experience in responding to errors and exceptions, manipulating file attributes and handling signals and other inter-process communication methods. 

Attendees to this course should have a good foundation in the essentials of the C programming language, including pointers, structures, unions, and typedefs.

Students should also have previous practical command line experience with Linux or a Linux-like commercial operating system.
