Operating System Concepts, Binder Ready Version 9th Edition

This is not international edition (ISBN: 9788126554270) and is illegal to sell this in US, also the chapters are not as per international 9th edition of the book (ISBN: 9781118063330). Although the book content is still classic and great, just that it’s not the latest: like distributed systems are not covered as a chapter and Virtual Machines and some more, like the international edition does

This IS NOT ISBN: 9781118063330 it is ISBN: 9788126554270. Although it is the Ninth Edition, the chapters are not the same as 9781118063330. It looks like all the subject matter is the same, so I am going to give it a good rating as far as a book, BUT if you are taking a college class on Operating Systems, and the Professor is going by Chapter, you are going to be completely lost when you start trying to figure out what chapter matches what the instructor is talking about. I think the chapters have different information in them, it is not just that the chapters are mismatched.I bought the book and am going to keep it because it is a great book BUT, I had to also rent the correct one for the US which is 9781118063330 because I was very confused about what a test or quiz was going to be on, when they said it was Chapters 1 - 4.

This book is very bias toward Linux with the occasional reference to Windows. I would say some of the material is just wrong - perhaps they do this to make it easier to understand. For example, they talk about OS security models and talk about "layers" - however while they are technically layers the industry calls them rings (look up ring -1). In Chapter 2 - they mention a lot of system calls - many of them are just wrong. For example - 2.4.1 - there is no end system call (they might have meant exit). 2.4.2 - they mention a "delete" system call; there is no delete system call but there is a remove or unlink system calls (at least in Linux). Again reading through Chapter 2 they are obviously very bias towards Linux...which there isn't anything necessarily wrong with that but the material they put together can actually be dangerous because to a new person who didn't know anything about system calls (or a professor teaching out of this book) may make people believe there are system calls that don't exist or terms that aren't used. Maybe they were just using it as an example - but personally if I were to write a book I would use terms, concepts, and system calls that were actually used such that if someone wanted to find more information they could google them.I gave it 3 stars because I think it's a great starting point - just needs to be reviewed a little bit. This book has a lot of great information and I think it does a pretty good job explaining things so it's great for someone who may not understand how an OS works.Also as an aside note - I was disappointed when the index entry for "page address extension (PAE) has 396 - but that points to a blank page....

I purchased the Kindle version of this textbook. I like that Kindle version's format adheres to the same page numbering as the actual textbook, which simplifies navigating the book's content. The organization of the material is logical and sequential. Information is worded in simple, easy to understand sentences, with important terms and concepts emphasized in a blue-colored font. None of the information is discussed using cryptic or archaic terminology. The asides and coding examples in the textbook are excellent; they really hit the nail on the head in reinforcing the material and/or demonstrating how a concept is represented programmatically. For those who are visual learners, this book is for you. You get your money's worth in figures, illustrations, diagrams, etc. Additionally, the author exceeded my expectations in his ability to explain the features of specific popular operating systems, provide OS-specific code implementations, and identify the similarities and differences between them. I also appreciate the author's choice to use female pronouns- little things like that mean a lot!Here is who I would recommend this book for: at a bare minimum, someone who has learned the fundamentals of the C programming language. Ideally, this book would better suit someone who has also learned about basic software development, data structure, and algorithm principles (in any language) in addition to either introductory-level computer systems/organization.

This book is an excellent general survey of operating systems concepts. At 941 pages, it packs a lot into those pages.Apart from a good historical survey of most important issues over 64 years of operating system conceptual history since general purpose commercial computers emerged from the shadows of world war two, it could be criticised as only dealing in depth with Linux and Windows. Older important sophisticated operating systems such as VMS are mentioned with in almost no depth.Unpaid Linux programmers looking for good ideas for reuse may have to look to older and other works if looking for ideas of over twenty years standing to reimplement as out-of-patent.It misdescribes the MS-DOS program loader as an operating system. But what features does an operating system require at a minimum? A very good question for any student of computer science! Read, enjoy, think and consider! And to get more depth on specific topics of operating system theory, other works will have to be sought out and referenced ...

I am probably considered a veteran in this area. I used to have several books to cover the various areas that are explained in this book. When I looked at this one, I noticed that it deals with all the various topics with good dept and coherence.For students : a very good book to use.

Very clear and easy to read. Good subjects and many details. Lots of examples and working material for homework. Well done

Purchased this book to enhance my understanding on Operating Systems.Content :This book is bible for operating system knowledge. It covers very important concepts of Process Management and Memory Management. This book is good for all type of readers - Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced reader. Highly recommended for Students/Professionals/Readers who want to enhance their knowledge.Book Quality :Book quality is excellent. Cover is bright and shiny. Paper is good and its ink is good too. Images used in this good are of very clear quality and easily understandable. Overall very good quality.Overall very much satisfied with the product.

First of all you know that this is bible of OS. This book is best option for beginners. If you are beginning the concept OS go for it don’t resistant yourself for a second.BOOK QUALITY:I will rate it mediocre(for paperback ). The page a wee bit light but it won’t affect your study mind. If uh mark with marker a little bit colour reflects towards other page.But if you mark with get pen it won’t affect much.Overall the book quality is admirable and you won’t feel cheap quality while studying.

Dieses Einführungsbuch zum Thema Betriebssysteme orientiert sich vor allem an Linux (dafür gibt es auf der Webseite zum Buch eine VM) und Windows.Gut dargestellt sind: Historie, Sicherheit, Schutz, Interrupts, AlgorithmenWeniger gut dargestellt sind: Messergebnisse z. B. zu Plattenzugriffen und Scheduling (mir gefiel "Operating Systems Three Easy Pieces" besser).***Mir hat das Buch gut gefallen. Die Fallstudien zu Windows 7 und Linux 3 waren aufschlussreich. Zum besseren Verständnis enthält jedes Kapitel Zeichnungen, Code-Beispiele, Fragen, Programmierübungen und Linux-Projekte. Auf der Webseite gibt es Anhänge zu BSD-Unix (mit Dateisystem und Netzwerk) sowie Mach (Mikrokernel mit Nachrichtenübermittlung, in Mac OS X verwendet).Hinweis: Die "Indian Edition" ist in einem kleineren Taschenbuch-Format, aber kostengünstig ;-)
