Linux System Programming ( Linux Internals)

The Linux System Programming course is designed to provide a deep understanding of how the Linux operating system works under the hood. This course introduces students to the fundamentals of system-level programming, covering essential topics such as file I/O, process control, memory management, inter-process communication (IPC), signals, and multithreading using the POSIX thread library. Learners will gain hands-on experience writing C programs that interface directly with the Linux kernel via system calls and the GNU C Library (glibc), empowering them to build robust, low-level software components for performance-critical applications.

By the end of this course, students will be equipped to develop efficient and secure programs that interact with the Linux operating system at a granular level. The course is particularly beneficial for aspiring systems programmers, embedded developers, and backend engineers who wish to master Linux internals, improve debugging skills, and understand how high-level abstractions are implemented at the OS level. Through real-world projects and exercises, learners will bridge the gap between application programming and kernel operations, gaining valuable insights into the structure and behavior of modern Linux-based systems.
