#2Well, it looks amazing. And that list of non-tech books at the end put a couple new ones into my to-read list.

#3Reading this book right now. Very interesting/entertaining prose and I like how they contextualize things being discussed into the history of computing. It might not be as dense as some other texts, but it's worth the read if you haven't taken an OS course.

#4I keep it closer to me. one of the most Easy.reads. this is how technical books should be

#5We used this in my undergrad OS class. Great book!

#6Heads up to anyone wanting to go through this book and use the code samples: they're all in Python 2.
Don't let it deter you though, it's a fantastic book.

My memory was telling me the examples were all in C, so I went just now and picked a few random chapters, and the examples I saw were in C.

#8There was a long period of time after I “learned to code” where everything still seemed like magic. Working through this book for 10 weeks in my OS course at school was when the magic finally become real and concrete.
Edit: Just noticed my professor for that class contributed some new chapters! Cool!

I'm working through this now and have been able to run all the Python code I've come across so far with Python 3. For example https://github.com/remzi-arpacidusseau/ostep-homework/blob/m... is written to run under either 2 or 3.

The book has a ton of C code snippets, and some other code examples, but all of the 'homework' problems are in Python.
