Driver Support Tutorial

[Andrew Wagner <apwagner@u.washington.edu>]

Hey all, 

I'm new to EPICS and was wondering if there was a very straight forward, detailed tutorial for writing device support. Specifically, I need to communicate with a Tektronix scope over Ethernet (the scope has an IP address) and I would like to use my OS X laptop to run the IOC. What libraries do I need to establish Ethernet communication? Are they included in EPICS base? I didn't see anything along those lines in the base-3-14-11/dev directory. I'm a pretty experienced programer and run code on my laptop regularly. I just don't have any experience with communication libraries in C/C++. Thanks very much for help.
