An introduction to operating systems with up-to-date and comprehensive coverage

Now in its 9th Edition, Operating Systems: Internals and Design Principles provides a comprehensive, unified introduction to operating systems topics aimed at computer science, computer engineering, and electrical engineering majors.

With an unparalleled degree of support for integrating projects into the course, plus comprehensive coverage of the latest trends and developments in operating systems, including cloud computing and the Internet of Things (IoT), the text provides everything students and instructors need to keep pace with a complex and rapidly changing field. The 9th Edition has been extensively revised and contains new material, new projects, and updated chapters.

    Se pasaron con eso de una edición "económica". Las hojas están tan delgadas como las de un periódico, siento que si lo hojeo muy rápido romperé alguna por accidente.

    En cuanto al contenido, como dice el título de mi reseña, lo iré actualizando.

    Bought the book for my son so I can write only what he said: the book is a joy to read and it's put up together in a logical, helpful manner. He's a computer science student and finds the book very useful. Apparently, to my surprise, not all books in IT are put well together, even when you would think that all IT people would be prone to logical presentation of their ideas.
