Preamble
This talk is a brief guide to Linux programming languages, tools and concepts.
It is aimed at programming novices or programmers migrating from a Windows system (and your first question is probably :' where's the IDE???”)
The aim is to introduce you to the concepts, the possibilities and the tools used in Unix programming, focusing on Linux in particular.
You will not come away from this talk with an advanced knowledge of C pointers, OOP design in Python or how to hack a network driver in the Linux kernel. There are limits to what you learn in one hour!

Linux is a very standard operating system, compatible with just about any software you need. Linux acts as a platform for a variety of different programming languages, tools, and libraries, each with their own capabilities. At A-1 Technology we develop dynamic database driven websites equipped with the latest web technologies like ASP, PHP, Ruby and Perl etc. Our developers are experts in providing advanced solutions to our customers and develop customized web pages and websites as linux provides a wider choice of libraries and graphical user interface toolkits as compared to Windows.
linux is pretty fast and can handle a number of tasks at the same time.
