Whether you get a job at Facebook, Google, Microsoft, or any other leading-edge technology company, it is impossible to build resilient, secure, and flexible computer systems without the ability to apply operating systems concepts in a variety of settings. This book examines the both the principles and practice of modern operating systems, taking important, high-level concepts all the way down to the level of working code. Because operating systems concepts are among the most difficult in computer science, this top to bottom approach is the only way to really understand and master this important material. Review: Love this book - The focus of the book is on "why" and the whole book and all sections are organized such that, they answer some important question. Saying the same thing in the different way, this book is not a laundry list of all-things-OS, rather a very carefully selected topics and examples that teach us something important in systems design and implementation. No doubt book is written by two elite, top-notch researchers! Reading this book always gives me joy! Very nice effort by authors! Review: Great book, somewhat poor print quality - This is more of a "breadth" than a "depth" book. It covers many of the basic concepts you'd need to know, say, for studying for an OS exam. Unlike many other books in this category, this book uses mostly contemporary examples. This is hugely important for students who simply can't relate to the 80's. If I had two wishes for this book, it would be: i) A chapter (or a section) on cache coherence ii) Better print please. Many of the pages have a tilted print and it's somewhat distracting. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #185,302 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #8 in Computer Operating Systems Theory #16 in Computer Operating Systems (Books) #120 in Operating Systems (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 156 Reviews | ## Images ![Operating Systems: Principles and Practice - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Wc9ztSvxL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love this book *by T***E on July 14, 2016* The focus of the book is on "why" and the whole book and all sections are organized such that, they answer some important question.
