Product description

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..."

ICL Professor of Computer Engineering,
