Linux System Programming - A programmers/Practical Approach (Udemy.com)

Giving 1 star as of lecture 6. Not really intuitive. Will update later if found interesting. Edit: On lecture 45 - Process Programming and virtual memory sections are explained well. Updated my review.

review 1 its bascially reading the ppt aloud. I just started the session as of now its 1 star for me. review 2 the sessions are self explatorywe just need the ppt. i loved the practical approach which made the different system calls more undertandable. changeing my review to 3 star.

content and explanation is good, i will recommend this course to start linux system programming and to get basic idea about concepts. Suggestion to Trainer: It would really help If you can add your more realtime experience content to course and explain more application oriented .Thank you.

The course has been very good so far! I have learned a lot of what I need in a short time. Illustrated with code examples that are explained and you know what happens. The topic is a bit hard why I bought the course in the first place. It requires a goot bit of knowledge about pointers in c, for which I also bought a course.

excellent course for beginners in system programming, you will get good foundation, only thing is the ppt are not present in resource section so could not download it, but you can download code files, i highly recommend it, instructor is very clear and had good knowledge , expecting more courses from him, thank you sir.

Started bad, to much basics. Some of them aren't even linux related but C related. The content gets more interesting & internal as the course continues. I think you should remove things that aren't linux/OS related like: printf/malloc/calloc. Do more: importent structures, API's. Maybe even Make/Cmake

The quality of the course matches its price: 20 euros. I was asked by my employer to do this course and I did it. I don't know why they chose this course, possibly because of the price. This is not to say that this is a complete wasting of time, some information was useful, but the course doesn't cover a lot of important topics, like e.g. dynamic libraries, socket programming, or descriptor multiplexing, or nonblocking I/O and so on. Instead they tell us e.g. how to use unnamed semaphores, which, in my opinion, isn't very useful in practice. Also there is a lot of repetitions. For example the speaker tells us many times how to use manual pages, which is pointless. They could tell it only once. Similarly every time we see file permissions the speaker again and again feels obliged to explain us what they mean. And finally the speaker doesn't seem to be well-prepared, there are a lot of interruptions in his monotonic speach. I listened it at the velocity at least 1.5 and sometimes increased it to 2, otherwise I would fell asleep. And the code examples deserve a separate section. There are unused variables, unused includes, the code is not well formatted, indentations are inconsistent - even within a single source file, variable names with indexes, source files with indexes, blank lines don't correspond logical blocks. So in the end I firsrt re-formatted the code and then tried to understand it. Also printf's are strange: for some reason they include " " in the beginning of many lines. No idea, why. Sometimes I even didn't go into their code and wrote it by myself in order to understand the functions. And one more repetition: in the section about named semaphores they wrote (and explained) four programs, while there was enough only the first one. Finally I comforted my employer with this certificate but I', m not going to show it to someone else. And if a person really wants to know about programming in Linux, I would recommend the book of Stevens that covers much more and doesn't explain the same things many times.

This is unbelievably easy to understand ! ... After getting confused by W. Richard Stevens' and my university lecturer this course is like a piece of cake ! LOL ! ... The explanations Mohan in the practical videos are freaking easy to understand and just like watching a TV series ! Thank you so much !

it is perfect solution for someone familiar with embedded OS concepts, who wants to get grasp of some important issues in depth. personally ,I learn some amazing things from basics & its helpful for my job also. sir everything you explained in clear way,,Thank you

this is very good Linux course with lots of example programs for every concepts. if there were some real time examples for every concept ( the one you took,like for booking tickets application) it would have been exceptional
