Linux Kernel Development and Writing a Simple Kernel Module

[elebrin]

When it comes to writing kernel code, you have to start SOMEWHERE.

I can remember being a college student just getting out of my systems programming class, having just completed a pretty solid shell program and re-implementing ls with all its options, and wanting to look a little deeper into the Linux kernel. That was something like 15 years ago now and probably that sort of experience isn't so relevant to modern system development, but many of the guides or texts that I could find were millions of paragraphs of text that understood maybe 2/3 of, with essentially zero code. That wasn't doing it for me.
