Hi, My company wants me to hop on to Linux/Unix from Bill Gates, and to make it even better I am suppose to get upto speed writing modules to enhance our SER deployment. What experience do I have writing in ANSI C "0", "ZERO", "nada", BUT, I have been programming for over three yrs now so the logic is not an issue. My question, whats the best way to start, I am currently going through the documentation on SER Admin, need to have a plan. I know no one likes newbees, but hey any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks Viq
I am in a similar situation, as far as the ANSI C goes. What has helped me is to jump in, find a bug and try to figure out what is going on. Granted you might not be as lucky as me on your first try in finding bugs, but trust me even if you don't there is plenty to look at. I can promise you it will be confusing and infuriating, but slowly things will begin to make sense.
Start by setting up a basic SER installation on a Linux box. Once you get it set up and working then you can try out different features. Don't be afraid to send messages to this group, I have found them very helpful and attentive to all levels of questions.
good luck,

Viq,
If you're going to be coding C on Linux then I'd recommend you read up on GDB which is the GNU Debugger.
If you search amazon.com or other bookstores you'll find a few books on the subject.
If you're new to Linux and coming from Windoz then you'll have a bit of a culture shock as to how things are done. There is no fancy VC++ IDE to step through your code. The good news is that GDB is more than enough to debug most C code
Regards, Paul
