I want to code drivers in C in linux os, though I think its very tough. Can I get some hints as to how to start or books to follow? Drivers can be from my USB port to graphics card!!
I know as to where I can search for books, I would like to know as to what the basic knowledge I should start with. Do I need to have hardware knowledge and which specific books are good for novice like me

Is there any reason that I absolutely should not write my own delta compression library (in C)? I'm working on proprietary project and cannot include any GPL'd code (and most others in fact).Being not an expert in binary data compression, I'm wondering if I do go this way, where should I start? All data involved is highly patterned binary with roughly the same length (~100K).
Sorry for the rather vague question.. Thanks in advance for any insight
Zlib is freely available and reusable, even in proprietary software. (Here is the license.) There is no reason to try and recreate it.

I am working on project of metamorphic code generator. In order to test this project I need some virus source codes in C. Since I have developed this tool on Linux. I need virus codes which are Linux based. Are there any good links from where I can download such virus codes?

I'm a newbie programmer looking to create a simple proxy in C that forwards HTTP requests (through TCP). Are there any resources online that can get me started? I've already looked at "Beej's Guide to Network Programming" as it came highly recommended, but I find it to be a little incomplete and hard to follow. Any suggestion would be appreciated!
Why reinventing the wheel?

I'm trying to teach myself to program stepper motors. I am a beginner at motor control, but I do have college level programming experience with GUI and embedded systems.
Can anybody lead me in the right direction as far as some good resources.
Thank you :)
Sure, this should get you started:

I am looking for an online tutorial for CUnit. After much "Googling", the only ones I have come across are the CUnit documentation on sourceforge and this one. None of which can really be described as a tutorial with a "walk though" working example.
Does any one know of a CUnit tutorial that actually walks through testing a sample program?
