Eligility: Professionals/MCA/Engg/BCA/BSc Students with bare minimum knowledge of C programming and Operating system fundamentals.

Note: Laptops with Ubuntu 10.04 or any other linux variant is mandatory.

Who should attend the Course?

1. What will I gain after finishing this course?

You will learn all basic components of Linux kernel and the Linux kernel architecture.You will get to know how to contribute towards Linux kernel development.

2. Will I be able to write device drivers after this course?

Yes, However you need to know that device drivers are not only software modules, they interact with real hardware. For e.g, If you are writing a driver for an ADC, then you need to know all details of ADC.

3. How will this course help me in my career?

Today, there is huge demand for Linux kernel developers in the industry.
Linux is widely ported operating system in the world. It has been ported to desktops, mobile phones, wrist watches and even for card swipe terminals.

4. Is this just a weekend course? Is this a crash course?

Yes and No. It depends upon students. The schedule can be decided by the students. Note that learning is a slow process with loads of study activities in the background.
