：This book provides a comprehensive and in-depth introduction to GNU/Linux programming. It begins by introducing the programming tools for Linux-based programming, then elaborates on Linux programming knowledge regarding libraries, system calls, and the kernel. It also specifically covers network programming knowledge, including TCP/IP, UDP, and multicast sockets. Graphical interfaces are a key focus of the book, with a strong emphasis on the text-based graphical interface library ncurses. Additionally, it explains the basic programming methods for popular graphical systems like X Window, Qt, GNOME, and OpenGL. Finally, it introduces Bash programming and device driver programming. The book contains numerous practical examples, allowing readers to deeply understand programming concepts and techniques through the example code. Another advantage of this book is that it covers topics often omitted in other programming books, such as RPM package management tools, documentation writing, and license selection for releases. This knowledge is essential for any programmer preparing to engage in GNU development work. The book is an invaluable reference for all Linux programmers, whether beginners or advanced users.
