Book Description
At the heart of any modern computer device sits the operating system and if the device is a smartphone, IoT node, data centre server or supercomputer, then this is very likely to be Linux. This textbook provides a practical introduction to the foundations of modern operating systems, with a focus on GNU/Linux and the Arm platform. It explains operating systems theory and concepts but grounds them in practical use through illustrative examples of their implementation in GNU/Linux, as well as making the connection with the Arm hardware supporting the OS functionality.
Editorial Reviews
Review
“…The authors’ ambitious goal is to ‘make Operating Systems fun again.’ Today’s learners require interactive content, gaining understanding through practical experience and intuitive analogies…My observation applies to students in traditional higher education, as well as those pursuing blended and fully online education. I am confident this innovative textbook will meet the needs of the next generation of Computer Science students…The authors do an excellent job of presenting Operating Systems concepts, with direct links to concrete examples of these concepts in Linux on the Raspberry Pi. Please don’t just read this textbook – buy a Pi and try out the practical exercises as you go…”
