ok here goes i am an absolutely faltu (read -just finished his Be comps last week ) ideal mind (what was it ideal minds being devils workshops).... and with little idea of linux limited to seeing it boot and typing vi/gcc blah blah at the prompt i survived college with barely writing a socket pgm and a fork pgm..
You should consider yourself lucky. Many other BEs had to be content with Turbo C and the Alt-R and CTRL-F9 stuff. Many probably did not even know what a socket is.
now i really want to learn network programming,shell scripting ..any gurus/good traning institutes in mumbai -- ? or do u all know any books /sites... i will be installing redhat 6.2 this week end frm pcq2k cd..i do have suse linux -- is redhat a good choice ?
Red Hat 6.2 is a good choice. If possible get your hands on Richard Stevens' "Unix Network Programming" The new edition (second) comes in 2 volumes. I personally consider it the Bible of network progrmming and many will agree. It is a complete rewrite of the 1st. edition and is EXCELLENT to say the least. Both volumes may together cost around Rs. 550/-. But they have tremendous shelf value.
