Synopsis

A unique guide to the classic Linux/Unix Toolset.
Programming is more than just coding. Software developers must build, analyse and test their programs; they have to avoid performance bottlenecks, administer internal and foreign modifications, find and remove errors. Using tools available under Linux/Unix, developers can solve the problems of the programming practice.
* Tools covered are the 'classics' in Linux/Unix environments
* Unique coverage of wide range of tools including: DIFF, PATCH, UNRAVEL, GPROF, GCOV, SniFF+ and many more
* Includes practical exercises to test competence
* Companion Web site includes information on more recent developments as well as extensive additional resources

From the Back Cover

Programming is more than just coding. Software developers must build, analyze and test their programs; they have to avoid performance bottlenecks, administer both their own and others' modifications, and find and remove errors. This invaluable book provides solutions for problems encountered in programming practice. It presents basic concepts and gives assistance on the practical use of selected, usually freely available tools under Linux/Unix.

Essential Open Source Toolset includes:

• Coverage of Eclipse, Bugzilla, Ant and CVS Tcl/Tk, classic tools which form the de facto standard in Linux and Unix environments.

• a wide range of less well known tools including: DIFF, PATCH, UNRAVEL, GPROF, GCOV, SniFF+ and many more

• practical exercises to test competence

• a companion website which includes information on recent developments and additional resources

This book offers indispensable guidance on how programming tools can be used to solve problems which occur regularly during the development of software. It will enable you to work with greater confidence and efficiency, and to achieve better results.
