Abstract: A good deal of useful software comes from other people - often published as 'Open Source'. Porting this software to a new system often requires detailed knowledge of development and administration tools. This half-course covers the most common development tools as well as advanced administration tools for Unix systems. At the end of this half-course you will not only be able to download and compile existing software packages; you will also be able to write similar software packages yourself and manage the Unix systems in your working group.
