UNIX (Linux, BSD, etc) Programming :: UNIX

[kuphryn]

Hello.

I am a Win32 platform C++ programmer. One of my interest now is programming in the UNIX platform. I have several questions.

First off, I am not interested in scripting, per se, but rather real-world software design and implementation.

In UNIX, what tools including libraries, IDE, and compilers, are used when developing client/server application running both as a service and GUI?

What books do you recommend for developing client/server applications in UNIX using C++ that go over subjects such as multithreading, sychronization, multiple processes, services, and GUI?

Thanks,

Kuphryn

The most common compiler in UNIX is the Gnu Compiler Collection, gcc. There are two popular IDEs I know of, Anjuta and KDevelop. Then there are the advanced text editors, which are also often used: vi and emacs.

There are many GUI libraries, but the two most popular are GTK+ (or GTKmm for C++) and Qt.
