Course description

CSSE2310 is an introduction to UNIX (Linux), the principles of computer systems (networks and operating systems) and systems programming in C.

You will learn about the basics of operating systems (processes, threads, virtual memory, file systems, etc.) in the context of the Linux operating system; and the basics of networking in the context of important Internet protocols (TCP, IP, etc.). You will learn how the operating system provides these services to user programs by way of system calls and you will write C programs that use these services - including programs that create and manage multiple processes/threads that communicate with each other - even across a network.¿

You will also become familiar with a Linux command line environment (shell) and be able to write common commands and simple shell scripts.
