4. About the Course: textbook
Mandatory Textbook:
Operating System Concepts (8th Edition) by Abraham Silberschatz, Peter Baer Galvin, Greg Gagne
Everybody must have and read
Supplementary Textbook: Modern Operating Systems, by A. Tanenbaum, 3rd edition.

5. About the course: projects
There will be 4-5 projects
Will involve low level programming in Linux environment
Some kernel level projects
Will use automated tools for testing

6. C programming language
Some differences from C++
We highly recommend you to read and study the following book: The C Programming Language by Brian W. Kernighan and Dennis M. Ritchie, Prentice Hall PTR, 1998 (must have book for serious C programmers).
Immediately start writing some C programs for practice

7. About the course: projects
You need to install Linux on your desktop/laptop
We suggest Ubuntu
It is important that everybody can program in C and in Linux
You need to perform above a threshold in the projects to pass the course

8. Other issues Ask questions Help each other to debug programs
Be persistent in debugging
Do not give up
Be determined to succeed. You will succeed at the end, if you insist, work, and be determined.

9. Attendance Very important!
The second most important thing in the course after the projects and doing the projects on your own.
If a student does not attend more than 5 hours, he/she will receive an grade of FX automatically. Each lecture hour counts separately.
If you have a very good reason to not come to the lecture, you have to inform the instructor and get permission.
