Embedded Linux Development

HRDC Reg. No: 10001706614
Duration: 28 hours (4 days)

Course Overview

Application Development with Linux is a 4-day hands-on course that provides participants with practical understanding of Linux user-space application development. The course focuses on processes, threads, synchronization, signals, inter-process communication, and socket programming.

Participants will learn how to design and develop multi-process and multi-threaded Linux applications that can manage system resources, communicate between processes, handle signals, and operate over networks.

The course includes staged project development to strengthen practical skills in building advanced Linux-based applications using real Linux programming concepts and system-level APIs.
