LinuxTips is a website for Linux users designed to help not only the advanced user but also for novice users who wish to learn how easy life with Linux can be and how customizable the operating system is. At least that was my initial idea. Its actually turned into mostly a C development guide on functions, socket calls, and really just a tutorial guides type site.

Wow, that looks like a resume?! I suppose in some sense it is. I have been into computers and technology since I had my first look at a 386 and used a 2400 baud modem to connect to “the Internet”. I enjoy programming challenges and learning new computer languages in both the systems realm and the web realm. This website is a hobby, an experiment, and a means for me to explain paradigm’s I have had to learn which in turn helps me better understand it myself.
