Using extensive Linux code examples, Steve Best systematically introduces open source tools and best-practice techniques for delivering bug-free, well-tuned code. Drawing on his exceptional experience optimizing Linux systems for IBM, Best covers issues ranging from memory management and I/O to system processes and kernel bug messages. You'll walk through real debugging sessions, discovering the strategies experts use to debug even the most complex application- and kernel-related problems. You'll master sophisticated profiling techniques for identifying and resolving bottlenecks more quickly and learn how to capture the right data in the event of trouble.  Linux Socket Programming by Example begins with a very basic introduction to the fundamentals of socket level programming. As the chapters progress, you are introduced to related concepts, such as forming network addresses, Ipv6, the TCP/IP protocol suite and options, writing servers, and creating secure applications. You will also learn about socket fundamentals, domains and addresses, address conversion functions, socket types and protocols, Internet sockets, types and protocols, binding an address to a socket, using Datagram oriented protocols, and much more.  A step by step guide to using and developing KDE applications on Linux/UNIX systems, Sams Teach Yourself KDE 1.1 in 24 Hours teaches the fundamentals of KDE on various systems. Learn how to navigate the file manager and windows manager, get the most out of numerous tools and utilities, use KDE's wide base of applications, and more. This book also teaches the basics of the configuration and help systems, and shows how to use and get maximum results from the desktop environment.  Rather than simply running down a list of GIMP's capabilities, Sams Teach Yourself GIMP in 24 Hours actually teaches graphic art techniques and web media creation using GIMP. The GIMP is a fairly complex program with many features and capabilities, but not so complex to be beyond the grasp of most competent computer users. Sams Teach Yourself Gimp in 24 Hours takes you step-by-step through image creation and manipulation and teaches you the techniques for producing high-quality digital art. This book is neither a "dummied down" guide for novice computer users nor an incomprehensible technical reference for UNIX and Linux experts. |
