Well Nidhi, I would suggest you to take the following step, 1. C Programming. - k& R. 2. UNIX My Ultimate Guide - Sumitabha Das. 3. Beginner's Linux Programming - Neil Matthews & Richard Stones - O'reily. 4. Design of UNIX operating system - Maurice Bach. 5. Linux Kernel Development - Robert Love. 6. UTLK - Bovet & Cesati. Well, It will definitely take some time for you to get yourself comfortable with the kernel source code. So, Better start doing some advanced application level programming before wading through the source code. i.e thread programming, sockets, shared memory, message queues, signal handlers and all that. Also, while entering into the kernel source code, kindly google and read read some docs on "Linked List in Linux Kernel", it would really be helpful for you. It will take time, so have patience.
