As Linux becomes increasingly prominent as a platform for professional application development, its evolution as a powerful and flexible system, coupled with numerous free development tools, solidifies its future relevance. This resource provides easy access to a comprehensive array of tools that support emerging technologies at minimal or no cost, enabling developers to select the most suitable solutions. Following the success of the previous edition, this guide draws on the authors' real-world experience in Linux software development. It walks you through creating a sample 'DVD Store' application, featuring themed chapters that explore various implementation aspects. Additionally, 'take-a-break' chapters delve into important topics beyond the main theme. The focus remains on the practical side of programming, emphasizing the importance of selecting the right tools, using them effectively, and achieving accurate results on the first attempt. This book is ideal for both seasoned Linux programmers and aspiring developers, offering valuable insights into libraries, techniques, tools, and applications. A basic familiarity with a Linux system, a solid grasp of C programming, and an introductory understanding of object-oriented programming with C++ (particularly for the Qt/KDE sections) are recommended prerequisites.
