Operating System Concepts

I just want to tell you that Operating System is very important subject for a computer Engineer.. Most of the engineers know the overview of Operating system but very few ones's know the essential working of the structure of Operating System ...so guys if you really want to know what Operating system core part is or its concept thoroughly then This book is the Best Book you will ever have...This Book is in easy language plus it clarify your concepts.....It has brief Knowledge aboutMemory management partlike Paging, Segmentation, Virtual memory etcProcess Management:-like scheduling Algos, Preemption etc...Moreover its recommended for even gate Preparation.... So just buy it....Enjoy!

I got it in a very good condition as new book.. I'm very satisfied. 😊

Best for understanding the basic concepts

Nice Book,explaining all fundamentals of OS

Really cool book to clear your doubts about OS. It is so cool that, this book even cover OS related stuff from year 2050. This is an investment. You will thank me later. (Come to Kerala in year 2050, and say thanks to me on my grave) or just go on with your life, i just dont care

Book is useful, but cover is different as shown in the picture. Price is also good, as compared to local market.

I teach Operating System in an Engineering college and this is one of the best book based in the subject.

I chose to rate it as others must get some idea before ordering..I ordered international version based on cover page,but got some other version.its almost same,but u can obtain same product at cheaper rates at store

It was really cheapand Its state is good.I want to buy another book in that shop again. : )

Good book overall, introduces effectively to operating systems. No previous knowledge is needed although you might want to know the C programming language to understand the code examples: that's not necessary as the goal is understanding the concepts.The major downside is that sometimes, when introducing a new term, it's meaning is explained too concisely.Do not buy this book if you want to learn how to program operating systems, that's not what it's meant for.Also, actual book cover is different.

This a really nice book for reviewing Operating System concepts. However, as this was a second hand book, the status was not really good.

this book is very good but not for beginner. it is for people who need to understand operating system well. and it's not easy to understand the matter by yourself in first reading.

I was careful to buy the US edition instead of the International edition. Despite the claims that the content is exactly the same, that is simply not true. The exercises after every chapter are different. One of my classmates unknowingly got the Int'l edition and was not so lucky. Entire sections of chapters were printed non-sequentially. In other words, the book had pgs 1-15, then 32-45, then 16-31. I've come to realize that the Int'l editions are the equivalent of Chinese knockoffs electronics for books. To use an old cliche: You get what you pay for.The book itself does a good job of explaining each concept, although my professor's lectures clarified all of the confusing concepts. The writing is as interesting as can be for a topic I consider very dry. This edition is a bit outdated, using Windows XP as examples for many of the concepts. There is a more recent edition using Windows 7 called Operating Systems Concepts Essentials. Overall, if you are looking for a textbook introducing the design and inner functions of operating systems, I don't know of any better sources.
