Chapter 5. Getting started with development in C/C++

In this chapter, we will start looking at how these components are actually used, both through the command line and through programs written to the Globus APIs.

Since the Globus Toolkit ships with C bindings, we start out by providing some information for C/C++ programmers that will help them better understand the programming environment. We then provide some C/C++ examples of calling Globus APIs. The examples we use are based on the GRAM module for submitting jobs, and the MDS modules for finding resources.
