Programming with GNU

by Ciaran O'Riordan.

The aim of this project is to produce a programming tutorial book for developers working on larger projects.

This book doesn't really exist right now, it's just a formatted collection of text that I have removed from my more beginner orientated book. The target audience of the book is GNU(/Hurd) and GNU/Linux users although the content should also be of use to OpenBSD, FreeBSD and NetBSD users.

A Table of Contents *might* someday look like this:

• * BASH programming intro
• * the auto tools
• * GDB
• * Secure programming
• * Packaging (and .debs)
• * guile
• * GNOME
• * Documentation
• * CVS
• * Savannah
• * Porting to BSD
• * GNU(/Hurd)
• * Emacs
• * DotGNU
• * profiling and benchmarking

I hope to begin serious work on this book near the start of 2004. Before then it should grow steadily but completeness or professionalism will not be a priority.

The current state of it (less than 10 pages) can be read in the following formats:

PDF

There is also a tarball of the source files for this project created nightly from CVS, you can get it here.
