This is a very good book: http://www.informit.com/store/product.aspx?isbn=0201702452&rl=1 Also these are very nice resources, it know it's NetBSD: http://www.netbsd.org/docs/kernel/index.html http://www.netbsd.org/docs/internals/en/index.html Kind regards, Tom >- Oorspronkelijk bericht - >Van: Radheshyam Bhatt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Verzonden: woensdag, januari 16, 2008 09:48 PM >Aan: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org >Onderwerp: how to be *nix programmer > >Hello People, > > > How's it going?I am interested in to developing drivers >for FreeBSD.

Learning C and probably C++ and maybe some Assembly is good. After that, you might want to absorb the McKusic books: 'Design and Implementaiton of the (4.3 and) 4.4 BSD Operating System. There is also some online documentation on writing drivers. I don't have the address at hand, but a little searching on the FreeBSD web site should turn it up. jerry > > > thanks in advance, > > Good Day, > Radheshyam > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > ___ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Hello People, How's it going?I am interested in to developing drivers for FreeBSD. How do I go about start learning program for that? What books & resources I should look in to. I know C, and I am learning about processes, and system calls. Also where would I take my questions to if I don't get something and need help for something in system's programming...
