WILEY Operating System Concepts Essentials

Very succinct book for early learners like myself (neophytes as my teacher calls us). There is the full linux kernel development book in its fifth edition, but that can be dense and frustrating for beginners. This Operating System Concepts Essentials has a great accompanying website with lots of great code examples and various resources that are very helpful.

Very well written but all highlights are very poor and can barley be read/distinguished from main text. All illustrations are the same. Either this book is a knockoff or very poorly designed as the illustrations are more akin to a bad color photo-copy than clear illustrations of the examples/processes being explained. This severely detracts from this book especially considering the price one would expect better.

I bought this book for the one of computer science classes.At the beginning, reading this book was a kind of suffer. I don't blame on the author, as the operating system itself is so hard to in teach. It was hard for me to follow the content as I had little knowledge about the operating system but I did familiar about C programming. This book was heavy so I wonder that's why the university uses this book. Haha!Most examples in this book was programmed in C.I am reading this book as the second time now, and started to follow the way in which the author of this book talked about the OS.

Not recommended, I returned this book and they deducted from me $67 for the restocking fees which is not fair at all

Worthless... I wish I could find the example, but I used it to look up a term from class. It used the word it was defining in the definition. That about did it for me.
