The Developer Shortcut Guide to SUSE LINUX for the Open Source Community

 

Industry expert John Featherly authors three-part eBook on developing
enterprise-level Java and .NET applications for the SUSE LINUX platform

 

San Francisco, CA - July 14th, 2005 - Realtimepublishers, the worldwide
leader in corporate sponsored ePublishing, announced the immediate
release of The Developer Shortcut Guide to SUSE LINUX. Written for
experienced developers who are looking to get a quick start on writing
open source-based enterprise applications, this guide offers the most
up-to-date information on the capabilities of SUSE LINUX as a
development environment for enterprise .NET and Java applications.
Authored by industry expert John Featherly and sponsored by Novell, the
eBook is offered at no charge on Content Central (
http://cc.realtimepublishers.com/portal.aspx?pubid=339) and Novell's
developer website (http://developer.novell.com/ebook/suse/).

 


"As more developers are considering the move to an open source platform
for enterprise application development, there is an obvious need for a
strong resource that can make known the tools available for that
migration," explained author John Featherly. "The Developer Shortcut
Guide to SUSE LINUX starts with a tour of developer features in SUSE
LINUX Professional and then shows the construction of an enterprise
application in parallel Java J2EE and .NET implementations. The guide
stays focused on getting quick results leveraged by the time-saving
features of SUSE LINUX Professional and the growing selection of open
source application foundation products."

 

"Development and deployment of applications on SUSE LINUX holds great
promise, and Novell wants to make it as easy as possible for developers
to leverage the open source platform," said Chris Cooper, director of
Novell Developer Services. "We wanted to participate in this project
because there were no guides offering a consolidated list of tools,
IDE's, and libraries available to the application developer who wanted
to start developing on the SUSE LINUX platform.  Sponsorship of the
eBook The Developer Shortcut Guide to SUSE LINUX will help Novell help
developers." 

 

As with all Realtimepublishers eBook releases, the guide will be written
in real-time and eBook chapters will be published and posted monthly as
soon as they are completed, ensuring the most timely, topic-specific
information available.

 

"We are extremely excited to get this guide into the hands of the Linux
developer community and feel certain that it will offer application
developers a strong resource for learning how to utilize SUSE LINUX as a
development environment," explained Realtimepublishers founder and
series editor, Sean Daily. "In order to keep The Developer Shortcut
Guide to SUSE LINUX eBook in line with the open source community ethos
of making information free, we are especially happy that Novell has
agreed to be the primary sponsor."
