of software? Learn about tools for programming projects on the
Unix/Linux platform. Emphasis is placed on C/C++ development, but many
tools are portable across languages. Abstraction in large C programs,
portable build systems (make and automake), debugging, profiling,
archiving, CVS (a revision control system), and other topics will be
covered.
