With the open nature of Linux and the ever-growing abundance of new devices, driver development is an excellent string to add to your bow. If you're ready to make that step from user application development to "kernel hacking" this paper will point you in the right direction. (Click here to read the entire article.)
If you are used to Linux or UNIX, familiar with C or C++ development, or have ever downloaded and installed a source distribution that wasn't a source RPM, you probably have some familiarity with GNU Autotools. If you want to find out how they work and how they work together, what they are useful for, and how to make use of they in your application, this document is for you. It is intended to give a basic introduction to the use of the GNU Autotools toolchain, particularly on SUSE Linux. (Click here to read the entire article.)
I would suspect that it would be an obvious question as to why you would want a fast and well tuned computer system. Granted, it may not be easy to diagnose performance problems, but having an understanding of things you can do to resolve these issues, and better yet, prevent these issues from ever occurring would be a good thing. Fortunately, most common operating systems provide some sort of tools to optimize the operating system to the hardware. This is where Linux in particular shines. By using a few basic and sometimes advanced tools, you can determine what the problems are with your system. In my case, hopefully figuring out a way to prevent the system stopping functioning incidents. (Click here to read the entire article.)
SlickEdit 10 is the latest version of SlickEdit's (http://www.slickedit.com/) flagship code editing environment. SlickEdit is not so much an IDE as it is a code editor, but what it does it does very well. With language support for over forty programming languages including C, C++, Java, and Python as well as color coding for over twenty additional file types like Bourne Shell and Makefile, SlickEdit probably has the editing support you are looking for in order to manage your project. SlickEdit 10 runs great on SUSE Linux, and with built-in support for GNU tools like gcc and gdb, as well as CVS and Subversion, SlickEdit is a great option for application development on SUSE Linux, regardless of the languages you prefer to use.
