The speaker will speculate on Linux's future as a development platform and predict the future of Linux development tools. Linux has a low cost of ownership, is stable enough to catch errors before they crash the machine, and features an increasing number of free development tools.
Developers can write and test code on Linux and then move it to another platform for deployment.
This presentation will explain how an effective software development process can be configured inexpensively on Linux. The speaker will demonstrate the necessity of configuring a development process that effectively prevents errors. He will describe what such a development process should look like and discuss how commercial and public domain tools fit into this development process. The speaker will also speculate on Linux's future as a development platform and give his predictions on the future of Linux development tools. Dr. Adam Kolawa is the CEO of ParaSoft Corporation, a provider of error detection and error prevention software.
