Title: VERY , VERY OUTDATED.....
Review: This book is based on a previous , very old kernel of Linux... Need I say more ? Well, I will anyways ... the really exciting part of writing code for Linux is when you start writing modules and device drivers .And here is where it starts getting ridiculous and the book goes downhill because the newer versions of the kernel have a TOTALLY different procedure from writing modules and device drivers..... The examples might work with the version of Linux included with the book but that too is a very old version. This can be a very good book if it is updated to programming the 2.4.x kernel.I would suggest looking at kernelnewbies.org and some mailing lists for ideas on new projects. Also "Writing Linux Device Drivers" which is available free of cost in pdf format is a good book.
Is the review positive or negative?
