How do i start learning C > and which books or tutorials i need to refer. not to throw cold water on this plea for assistance, but it seems odd that you can have worked on linux for 10 years and be a "great fan", and still be "totally new" to C language. that tells me that you simply aren't ready to dive into kernel programming yet. how can you have spent 10 years immersed in linux without having at least a passing acquaintance with C? i think this topic needs to be in an FAQ somewhere, something like, "so you want to get into kernel programming? here's what you need to do first." unless something like that already exists. sorry to sound cynical about this, but this question comes up over and over again -- people asking how to "get into" kernel programming. and i think a beginning to an answer to that is that, if you haven't put even a minimal amount of effort into learning the basics or figuring out how to look through the kernel source, you're not ready. it's like saying, "gee, i'd really like to be a car mechanic, but i've never looked under the hood. how do i get started?" go learn C first. then you can at least take a shot at it. rday -- Robert P.

They have some pointers. You should take a look at this video [1] first. It's a brief intro on how the Linux Kernel community works. But first, you should be familiar with C programming (it's good if you did some system programming in C). If you have the basic C experience and if you want to go onto kernel programming (not that hard) you should try reading some books (I would recommend these [2] [3]). After that, use the source! And if you get stuck, ask around (here, for example). Good luck and happy hacking!
