The Linux operating system is not limited to just game or open source programming, but rather can be used to build the same applications as any other commercial UNIX environment. This text provides information and techniques for developing applications on the Linux operating system, focusing on commercial development, and it removes fears that Linux cannot deliver commercial-grade applications. It also shows that Linux is not an orphan operating system, and is backed by industry leaders like IBM, Oracle, Sun Microsystems and Borland. Linux is also the only operating system that runs on a wide range of computers. It is compatible with laptops, desktops, mid-range servers and mainframe computers, making the operating system suitable for both server and client machines. The CD-ROM includes source code, applications demo software and all figures from the book.
