Ask HN: Would self-taught programmers be interested in such a book?

I want to write a book on operating systems that actually lets the reader build one. It's going to cover stuff like C, x86 assembly, computer architecture, and operating system architecture (basic stuff like task switching, file systems, virtual memory etc). It's also going to provide exercises that lets the reader fill in gaps to make sure they comprehended the material instead of just copying and pasting code. The targeted audiences are mainly self taught programmers and motivated cs students who want to learn more than what their typical operating system courses has to offer. Would people be interested in working through such book?

I'd be interested, don't have a CS degree and at times I feel I lack some basics. Have you written anything yet or is this still at the idea stage?

I have written a kernel for the ARM architecture before and recently I have started working on a kernel for x86. Initially this was just a fun side project but upon seeing all the recent post by self-taught programmers who desire more, I thought this would be a good book to write about.

I'm interested too. I don't have a CS degree and would really like something like this since I can study it at my own pace. Do you have any ideas on how you want to publish it?

I have a CS degree and I'm interested anyway! I think it's a good way to learn about threads, memory management, concurrency mechanisms, etc.. Also can contribute if needed.
