"One of my college texts, I have never had a need to reference this since graduation. While the content is useful in gaining an understanding of how systems work, I believe this work would not be useful to most mainstream coders. If you are working in embedded systems, this would be useful."
"Not too bad of an introduction to operating systems. I don't think I could confidently say that I can now write my own operating system but I think I have a much better understanding of how they work and could more easily understand the innards of existing operating systems."
