Operating System Concepts 10th Edition

This textbook, affectionately referred to as "the dinosaur book" has been a perennial favorite in big Computer Science departments for the last 30 years. I learned from it in graduate school at UIC and taught a graduate class using it at SLU.

This is what computer-related books should be like. It is thorough, in depth, information packed, authoritative, and exhaustive. You cannot get this kind of excellent information from the Internet - or many other computer books these days.I have a degree in CIS but missed out on the OS courses (took different courses instead). So years ago I bought what was at the time the newest edition of this book, and loved it. A few years later I bought an updated version, and now - even more years later - bought the newest version as of today.It's a shame that quality computer books are declining so rapidly in number. I hope they continue to update and publish this book for many years to come.

Without a doubt, the content of this book is wonderful and informative. Back then, I studied the OS with this book, and bought this book of 10th version again to review the concepts.However, I just realized that some features in this book are only available in ePub version which is not the version of the ebook here. As a result, I cannot see the answers to the exercises in each chapter and also cannot use other features like animations and so on.I contacted the Customer Services but they refused to issue a refund as it's been 9 days since I bought it. They just suggested that I buy the same book of ePub version and read it using another app. This situation is really annoying.I know that the author mentioned about this, but it should be more properly informed. I never saw the notice when I was purchasing it.

I'm reading it. It seems an example to follow in the literature Operating Systems.Plus points: supplementary documentation available slides summary...less points: a bit expensive, but maybe legitimate... an example to followI could eventually translate it to mother language Portuguese (less spelling faults), but 9th edition is already available... thus, somebody else had already the idea related with publisher entreprise, and is probably presently busy with translation of this edition => it shows it deserved to be translated... congratulationschristianideas.eu tries to help 'about' section

Good book, bit too technical.

The content of the book is great, but the Kindle version, for being $90 after tax, should be able to be zoomable, but it is not. This makes it hard to read on a phone as I either need to zoom in and then zoom out to turn the page or not zoom in at all.

I got this book for my OS class which I recently finished and got an A in. This book is good at breaking topics down but at times I feel it doesn’t give enough information on topics.

Do not purchase!! This is the abridged version (missing end of chapter homework questions! ).
