5.0 out of 5 stars An excellently readable approach to the subject, 2 Sep 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Applied Operating System Concepts (Hardcover)
An undergraduate student with the Open University, currently studying the new third-year honours course, "Software Systems and Their Development", I have found this book an invaluable addition to the set books recommended by the University.

It is eminently readable, yet contains a wealth of material, with excellent examples of the application of many of the principles it introduces.

A must for the serious student of modern-day computer systems.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely readable, up to date and comprehensive, 20 Feb 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Applied Operating System Concepts (Hardcover)
This refreshingly nouveau rewrite is a must for undergraduates using the Java technology. It comprehensively covers all areas of operating system design and the problems associated, therein. Silberschatz is becoming established as THE author in this field. The difference is the application here, but makes the applications through Java and gives examples on new hardware and of new packages.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad., 6 April 2001
By simon (simon.maggs@tfeurope.com) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Applied Operating System Concepts (Hardcover)
An ok book. Just could do with clearer explanations throughout. Ambiguities pervade most chapters. As a result is it useful to supplement with another book. Probably great if you have a lot of time on your hands but as a professional not always the case.....
