LinuxCertified, Inc. announced a two day, hands-on course that acquaints atendees with Linux kernel documentation, kernel configuration, kernel debugging, kernel measurement and other tools. This course trains developers in effective debugging and performance measurement and improvement techniques for Linux kernel. This class is scheduled for October 29th - October 30th, 2009.

Learning from other people's code

The reason I want this debugging feature so hard is that I like to learn from other people's code. The thing I like so much about running an open source OS, is that I can just read the sources for programs on my system and try to figure out what they do and how they do it

In this blog let’s look at something simple, yet apparently, not used nearly enough. Let’s look at configuring the Linux kernel with various options for debugging.

This week, we'll pick up where we left off last week and continue discussing simple kernel and module debugging using seq_file-based proc files.

Simple bash script to use pod2html to create a one-stop reference page for all available POD documentation from your installed Perl distribution.

Detailed and proper documentation of source code and programs is the milestone of Unix culture, as we may read in “The art of Unix Programming” by Eric Steven Raymond. The first application on Unix was the platform to prepare documents. The platform was used by Bell Labs to prepare patent documents.

One of the unsung heroes of the Unix realm is — I kid you not — IBM. Stop laughing, I'm serious.
