Red Hat Linux Application Development and Porting (RHD256)
Red Hat Linux continues to enjoy an ever-expanding role in providing enterprise-level solutions. As companies migrate from proprietary to open source platforms, technical staff must leverage their existing expertise by learning the tools and techniques of the world of open source. Red Hat\'s RHD256 course provides a succinct introduction to new application development, as well as providing insight into porting existing applications, into the Red Hat Linux environment.
Skills Gained
Upon completing the class, student should be able to take advantage of the features of Red Hat Linux to write new applications and port applications to Red Hat Linux from proprietary UNIX environments.
Who Can Benefit
RHD256 allows an experienced programmer, who is already familiar with development on a proprietry UNIX-like system such as Sun Solaris, SGI IRIX, or Hewlett-Packard HP-UX or another Linux distribution, to gain equivalent skills for the Linux environment in a timely manner. The combination of lecture and hands-on lab exercises is designed to illustrate the unique features of Red Hat Linux development and provide contrasts with proprietary systems.
Prerequisites
Application development skills on any UNIX-like platform, including proprietary offerings and other Linux distributions. Attendees are expected to be familiar with common shells and command line utilities such as the C compiler, a linker utility, and the make(1) program.
