Description
This course covers the core topics of UNIX
System Programming. The course starts slowly with basic Unix shell commands
issue, Makefiles, C utilites and merge quickly to advnaced issues in Unix and
network programming. It includes studying Inter-process Communication (IPC)
techniques such as signals, pipes, FIFOs an sockets. This course also provides
a depth study of Timers implementation in Unix environment. Finally, we will
study, in this course, various techniques and architectures for developing
client/server applications over the Internet using Socket API. CSC 309 or good
C programming background is strongly enforced as a prerequisite for this
course.
