Chelsea,

Basically, you have access to any libc library function, and any library
function you care to import personally. So, for the most part. You can get
a good book on Linux programming, and just follow along.

One thing I'm personally unclear on, is that if these libc headers are
already installed as base, or through the *build-essential* package. I
could probably find out, but never bothered because in order to write C /
C++ code you should install that package anyway. As it installs the GNU
Compiler Collection, and everything else needed to get started with C/C++
development.

Python, I could not say exactly, but I'm fairly certain it's roughly the
same. Just *apt-get install <package>*
