• You might be a developer already experienced with programming for theGNU/Linux system, and you want to learn about some of its advanced featuresand capabilities.You might be interested in writing more sophisticated programswith features such as multiprocessing, multithreading, interprocess communication,and interaction with hardware devices.You might want to improve yourprograms by making them run faster, more reliably, and more securely, or bydesigning them to interact better with the rest of the GNU/Linux system.
  

• You might be a developer experienced with another UNIX-like system who’sinterested in developing GNU/Linux software, too.You might already be familiarwith standard APIs such as those in the POSIX specification.To developGNU/Linux software, you need to know the peculiarities of the system, itslimitations, additional capabilities, and conventions.
  

• You might be a developer making the transition from a non-UNIX environment,such as Microsoft’s Win32 platform.You might already be familiar withthe general principles of writing good software, but you need to know the specifictechniques that GNU/Linux programs use to interact with the system and with each other.
