Operating systems serve as the backbone, orchestrating the complex dance between hardware and software. As technology evolves at an unprecedented pace, it becomes imperative for students to grasp the foundational principles that underpin the functioning of operating systems.
In this book, I embark on a journey that explores the fundamental concepts, design principles, and advanced topics in the realm of operating systems. From the basic structures of processes and memory management to the intricacies of file systems and security, each chapter delves into the core components that shape the computing experience.
My aim is to provide a balanced blend of theoretical knowledge and practical insights, equipping readers with the skills necessary to navigate the ever-evolving landscape of operating systems. Real-world examples, case studies, and hands-on exercises are woven throughout the text to enhance comprehension and application of concepts.
Whether you are a graduate student delving into the world of operating systems for the first time or a postgraduate student seeking to deepen your expertise, this book aims to be your companion in unraveling the mysteries of OS design and functionality.
