This is to all people who want to learn kernel programming.
first dont ask just for the sake of asking.Smart people need stimulating ques and challenges to think.A very obvious ques may go unattended.So ask smartly and like a hacker not like a windows luser :).
second use resources like books, ebooks, friends, teachers. If you still cant ask the Oracle...means Google;).Still you can't RTFM and then ask. This way you will end up learning a lot more than you ever imagined and you can ask correct ques. Problem is not in answering right but in asking a right ques. I hope you all understand what i mean. When you ask make sure that you list your efforts... so that people can understand that you really need help.
And please avoid asking like "help needed or urgent" if it is urgent please dont post it to a public and Open forum, we are not here to sort urgent matters whatsoever. Better give techincal details of the problem in sub rather than asking for help... it will be much better.
Last but not the least. Kernel programming needs discipline and hard work and cetainly it doesnot need genius.So please be patient and take every error, every crash you encounter as an oppurtunity to learn more about Linux kernel.
Lastly i would like to quote Eric Steven Raymond "shut up and show them the code" :).
And yes if possible go through a book by Eric Steven Raymond "The Art of Unix Programming" ...its and excellent read and a must for every Linux/Unix programmer both kernel programmers and Application programmers. :)
