Linux System Programming - A programmers/Practical Approach

Files, Memory and Process management, Fork, Signals, Threads, IPC - Pipes, FIFO, message Queue, Semaphores,Shared Memory

What you'll learn
From basics to advanced Linux systems programming, with lots of hands on 'C' programming demos.
File operation, System call, Library functions, compiling using GNU-GCC, Blocking and Non Blocking call, Atomic operation, Race condition, User and Kernel mode
Process Management - Process creation, termination, Fork() system call, child-parent process, command line argument of process, Memory Layout of Process
Signals - signal handlers, sending signals to process, Default signal handlers.
Posix Threads - Thread creation, thread termination, Thread ID, Joinable and detachable Threads.
Thread Synchronisation - Mutex, Condition Variables
Inter Process Communication (IPC)- Pipes, FIFO, Posix Message Queue, Posix semaphore, Posix shared memory
Memory Management - Process Virtual Memory management, Memory segments(code, data, stack, Heap)

Requirements
Should have basic C language understanding

Description
Note : This course is conducted by IT working Professional, and not by a Professional Instructor.Q. What is the speciality of this course? A. This is purely a Course on "Learning Programming using Linux", This course does not teach 'C'. Since this course is conducted by industry working professionals, This course tries to cover gap between academics and Industry, Also the last section Bonus - Students Q & A, contains the collective students questions and its solution to them. It is a regularly updating section.Q. What is the Prior knowledge required for this course?A. This course teaches from Basics of Linux Programming to Advanced, hence no prior knowledge on Linux is assumed, but should be energetic to learn Linux technology.Q. Who is this course for?A. This course is designed in mind from beginners(students) to intermediate professionals who want to learn Linux and Utilise the Open Source  platform to help build their careers related in field of Linux systems Design and Development.Q. What will be the outcome of this course?A. The students upon completion will definitely have a SOLID understanding of Linux System Programming,  For freshers this can be a good guide to crack interviews, for already working professionals they can start working as individual contributor in their projects, and definitely will be in par with the experienced colleagues.Q. What are the contents of course?In this course you will be learning the below Linux system programming. And more emphasis is given on the Programming part.1.  Introduction to Linux systems.   a. Linux architecture.   b. Writing 'Hello World' program, compiling using GCC and its execution.2. What is system call and standard library function calls3. Kernel and User mode in Linux4. File operations    open(), close(), read(), write(), lseek()    Blocking and Non-Blocking calls.    Atomic operations, Race condition.5. Memory Management and Virtual Memory     stack segment, code segment,  heap segment, data segment,      Virtual memory management.     functions related to Memory allocation - Malloc(), calloc(), Realloc(), Auto variables, static variables.6.  Process Management     Process creation, Process termination, wait(), Process ID, fork() system call, Exec() family of system call, Parent-Child Process management,        Command line arguments of Process.7.  Signals     signal(), signal handlers, sending signals to process, ignoring and default signal actions.8.  Posix Threads     Thread creation, thread termination, thread ID, joinable and detachable threads. 9.  Thread synchronisation      Mutex, Condition variables, Thread safe.10.  Posix - Inter Process communication.      Pipes, FIFO, Posix message Queue, Posix Semaphores, Posix Shared Memory.NOTE - Ubuntu Distribution (Linux) is used for all Demo in this course.

Who this course is for:
Students, and professionals (beginners) who want to explore Linux systems programming and learn product development using Linux OS
