Operating System Concepts Essentials, 2nd Edition 2nd Edition by Abraham Silberschatz (PDF)

Description

By staying current, remaining relevant, and adapting to emerging course needs, Operating System Concepts by Abraham Silberschatz, Peter Baer Galvin and Greg Gagne has defined the operating systems course through nine editions. This second edition of the Essentials version is based on the recent ninth edition of the original text. Operating System Concepts Essentials comprises a subset of chapters of the ninth edition for professors who want a shorter text and do not cover all the topics in the ninth edition. The new second edition of Essentials will be available as an ebook at a very attractive price for students. The ebook will have live links for the bibliography, cross-references between sections and chapters where appropriate, and new chapter review questions. A two-color printed version is also available.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Challenging book due to immense amount of information and depth of detail. Needed to supplement with YouTube videos to get a batter grasp of concepts. There are calculations that are implied and not really set forth outright.

⭐I bought this book for the one of computer science classes.At the beginning, reading this book was a kind of suffer. I don’t blame on the author, as the operating system itself is so hard to in teach. It was hard for me to follow the content as I had little knowledge about the operating system but I did familiar about C programming. This book was heavy so I wonder that’s why the university uses this book. Haha!Most examples in this book was programmed in C.I am reading this book as the second time now, and started to follow the way in which the author of this book talked about the OS.

⭐This is an incredibly dry read that is perfect for an insomniac. Instead of inserting code examples in the section where they are referred to, they are usually inserted in later section where they have no relevance. For instance inserting the POSIX code example in the Linux section following the POSIX section. I find this irritating because it interrupts the point that is being made with an example of a previous point causing the book not to flow well. The exercises in the book often ask for information not covered in the book. You have to have a firm grasp of C and Java if you are to understand the examples.

⭐It was delivered as expected.

⭐Very succinct book for early learners like myself (neophytes as my teacher calls us). There is the full linux kernel development book in its fifth edition, but that can be dense and frustrating for beginners. This Operating System Concepts Essentials has a great accompanying website with lots of great code examples and various resources that are very helpful.

⭐Operating System Concepts Essentials is good beginning for learning about the concepts that go into designing an operating system. In addition, it is well organized.

⭐Very easy to read and follow. Knowledge is C programming language is very helpful.

⭐Item came in good shape just as described

⭐Very well written but all highlights are very poor and can barley be read/distinguished from main text. All illustrations are the same. Either this book is a knockoff or very poorly designed as the illustrations are more akin to a bad color photo-copy than clear illustrations of the examples/processes being explained. This severely detracts from this book especially considering the price one would expect better.
