+# System programming & Algorithm ― Linux programming 
+
+This repository contains projects for training in the Linux programming track  at [Holberton School](https://holbertonschool.com). All projects are in C and are designed to learn C from a beginners level to the advanced level. 
+
+## Styling and Specifications
+All C programs are complied with gcc 4.8 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. They comply with [schools formatting checker](https://github.com/holbertonschool/Betty), based on [Linux Kernel coding style]. All programs were written from the Bash, using Emacs. In most of the exercises, standard library functions were not used, excepts``printf``, ``malloc``, ``free`` and  ``exit`` and was required to write the necessary/helper functions. 
+
+### Compilation
+All programs must compile with gcc, using with the flags below:
+```
+gcc -Wall -Werror -Wextra -pedantic main.##.c ##-name.c
+```
+All bash/python scripts require execution permissions:
+```
+chmod u+x file
+```
+All projects with Makefile:
+```
+make 
+```
+### Directories
+Each directory is named after a concept and contains ordered exercises from mandatory to advance level, and a README.md with a short description of its files.
