Tools for high-efficiency Linux development in enterprise environments.

Linux developers have access to an extraordinary array of GNU and open source tools. Now, two leading Linux developers show how to choose the best tools for your specific needs, and integrate them into a complete development environment that maximizes your effectiveness in any project—no matter how large or complex. This book's example-rich coverage includes:

• The Linux software development process: research, requirements, coding, debugging, deployment, maintenance, and beyond
• Choosing and implementing editors, compilers, assemblers, debuggers, version control systems, utilities, and more
• Using Linux Standard Base (LSB) to deliver applications that run reliably on a wide range of Linux systems
• Comparing Java development options for Linux platforms
• Using Linux in cross-platform and embedded development environments

Whatever your environment, The Linux Development Platform will help you find, choose, configure, and maintain the right tools—and use them to deliver outstanding Linux software.

The accompanying CD-ROM contains all the open source software you need to build and customize your own Linux development environment.

Bruce Perens' Open Source Series is a definitive series of Linux and Open Source books by the world's leading Linux software developers, all edited by Bruce Perens, the former Debian GNU/Linux Project Leader who helped launch the Open Source movement.

This title is a member of the The Bruce Perens' Open Source Series Series, which also contains the titles below . You can also visit the Bruce Perens' Open Source Series Series page.

  C++ GUI Programming with Qt 3

  Appropriate for all courses in Qt or KDE programming.

  C++ GUI Programming with Qt 3 is the first official TrollTech guide to Qt 3.x programming. In this book, two TrollTech insiders provide students all they need to build industrial-strength applications with Qt 3.x and C++: applications that can run natively on Windows, Linux/Unix, Solaris, Mac OS X, and embedded Linux with no source code changes. The book teaches through example, and covers every facet of Qt 3 programming, ranging from basic user interfaces and layout managers to 2D/3D graphics, drag-and-drop, signaling, networking, XML, database integration, even internationalization and multithreading. The coverage will be appropriate for students at all levels of Qt expertise; students planning to build either open source or commercial applications; and students who wish to develop for Windows without purchasing an expensive compiler. C++ GUI Programming with Qt 3 is part of Bruce Perens Open Source Series, edited by Bruce Perens, one of the worlds leading authorities on open source technologies.

  Cross-Platform GUI Programming with wxWidgets
  Smart, Hock & Csomor

  Suggested retail price: $49.99  Buy from myPearsonStoreNet price: $25.49  (What's this?)Brief Description

  

  Unlike other cross-platform GUI toolkits (Tcl/Tk, Qt, AWT) wxWidgets

  supports the native look-and-feel of the local OS. And unlike Qt, wxWidgets is

  truly Open Source. It also works with virtually every standard C++ compiler.

  It is a perfect solution for organizations interested in porting Windows

  applications to Linux and other platforms. And with Mac OS X and Linux

  gaining marketshare daily, many organizations -- including Xerox, Advanced

  Micro Devices, AOL, Lockheed Martin, NASA--have adopted wxWidgets in

  order to support Windows, Linux, OS X, and Unix for their applications. See

  http://www.wxwidgets.org/

  And wxWidgets is HOT. Mitch Kapor's OSAF is using wxWidgets for its

  Chandler PIM. Bram Cohen uses wxWidgets for BitTorrent. Borland has

  added enormous credibility to wxWidgets by incorporating it into its newest

  C++ IDE: C++ BuilderX. wxWidgets is Borland's cross-platform

  development solution.

  Master C++ and design patterns together, using the world's leading open source framework for cross-platform development: Qt 4. This book provides a unique approach to learning C++ using design patterns, for working professionals who already have some programming experience with another language or for students taking a course on C++ and Design Patterns. It is also a good introduction to Qt for users of C++ who have not yet discovered Qt.

  In typical Linux "bibles," reserve the last third coverage for advanced topics

  that sys admins use on a day by day basis. They tend to cover the underlying

  concepts reasonably well, but fall short on hands-on instructions, forcing

  admins to buy specialty books. This book sufficiently expands the advanced

  sections found in these "bibles," providing step-by step instructions on how to

  configure the most popular Linux back office applications.

  To avoid confusion between the many flavors of Linux, each with it's own

  GUI interface, this book exclusively uses the command line to illustrate the

  tasks needed to be done. It provides all the expected screen output when

  configuring the most commonly used Linux applications to help assure the

  reader that they are doing the right thing. The Notebook also includes many of

  the most commonly encountered errors with explanations of their causes and

  how to fix them. The book's format is aimed at sys admins who often have to

  do advanced tasks in which the underlying theory is understood, but the

  commands to do it are forgotten or at the tips of their tongues.

  As the line between power users and administrators continues to blur, as

  computers move from the data center to the desktop, as Linux and Windows

  gain equal footing in business, it becomes harder to remember and do it all.

  This is the guide that gives admins the answers they need to common problems

  and tasks, allowing them time to eat lunch.

  Samba use continues to grow, particularly amongst Windows users. The

  updates to the software have been extensive and this revised edition covers

  structural changes and new features. Samba 3 will continue to dominate as

  Samba 4 will not release for some time and will not be taken up strongly for at

  least two years. Users have been asking for an updated book NOW. The

  collected information this book conveys comes from answers given to

  subscribers on the Samba mailing lists. Each question and answer has been

  further investigated and documented. Particular coverage is given to all new

  functionality and features introduced in Samba 3.0.14 (Replaceable password

  backends, loadable virtual file system modules, implementation of advanced

  management concepts, and much more). This book helps readers deploy

  Samba 3.0.14, the latest version available this coming June. Existing Samba

  users will appreciate the information on what is new with Samba 3.0.14. This

  book also eases the transition for those switching over from Microsoft

  Windows Server. 2003
