I had already done as you said. I am just asking if it's really mandatory to read LDD3 first ?

LDD3 vs Essential Linux Device Drivers
Hi, I would like to start learning about Linux kernel and device drivers development. Should I have to start with LDD3 as a lot of people advice ? or can I start with the Essential Linux Device Drivers by Sreekrishnan Venkateswaran. I know that the second book may be more advanced but I feel that it's more more practical and easier to be understood. Thanks, -- Mohamed ___ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
