Software Development in the Unix Environment

This talk serves as a starting point for people who want to develop software for the Unix environment. Developing software under Unix can be daunting at first. Unix shell commands are cryptic, as if Unix had been developed by professional programmers for professional programmers. The talk will discuss a variety of GNU tools for software development: editors, compilers, debuggers, makefiles, and source code control. GNU tools are available under Unix and Windows NT. The talk will also present code purification, profiling, and documentation extraction tools
