On LFD103⌗

A few of months ago I decided to educate myself a bit on the Linux kernel because I have always been interested on low-level development. I discovered this course while browsing around looking for certifications and it turned out to be really interesting.

It focused a bit on how the comunications are done between developers and maintainers, which was nice to see since I have always worked by myself on repos and/or via PRs. The most complex type of development I had done was with forks, but this was kind of refreshing.

Since it didn’t get too much into the nitty-gritty of developing device drivers, I guess I will have to look somewhere else. I have seen these books floating around called “Linux Device Drivers (Third Edition)” and “How Linux Works”, so I will be taking a look at them at some point.

Overall I recomend the course since it teaches you how to work with maintainers, which is something you don’t get to see that often (at least I haven’t).

Link to the cert here.

Next post I’ll focus on The Linux Foundation’s Rust introduction course (LFEL100).
