Description

For one- or two-semester undergraduate courses in operating systems for computer science, computer engineering, and electrical engineering majorsAn introduction to operating systems with up-to-date and comprehensive coverageNow in its 9th Edition, Operating Systems: Internals and Design Principles provides a comprehensive, unified introduction to operating systems topics aimed at computer science, computer engineering, and electrical engineering majors. Author William Stallings emphasises both design issues and fundamental principles in contemporary systems, while providing readers with a solid understanding of the key structures and mechanisms of operating systems. He discusses design trade-offs and the practical decisions affecting design, performance and security. The text illustrates and reinforces design concepts, tying them to real-world design choices with case studies in Linux, UNIX, Android, and Windows 10.With an unparalleled degree of support for integrating projects into the course, plus comprehensive coverage of the latest trends and developments in operating systems, including cloud computing and the Internet of Things (IoT), the text provides everything students and instructors need to keep pace with a complex and rapidly changing field.

User’s Reviews

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

⭐A bit dated, but the concepts are still there. I was forced to get it for a college class in 2019/2020 and was very sad to find one of the first things it mentions about Windows is, “Microsoft’s newest operating system, Windows 8”. But considering the price, it’s not a bad starting place to start learning more about operating systems. Some other info about Linux was also wrong due to the info being old.

⭐Great book. Fairly understandable even for a non-computer science major. I definitely feel that I would have gotten more out of the book if I had more experience working with system calls and C programming but this is not the book’s fault. Some sections are more difficult to understand than others so I had to look up some material but again this is most likely due to my lack of experience with this type of programming rather than a problem with the book.

⭐Really bad writing style, very confusing, lots of grammar mistakes. This guy needs an editor really badly. He uses examples to explain examples to explain examples. Nesting “for examples” makes things really confusing. Also, using a term like “process” 4 times in one sentence, where each time its used means something different, means that maybe you should define your terms better and/or find better/other terms to describe what you mean. Also has several cases of circular definitions, like: says that a process is part of/must include one or more programs, but in another section in the same chapter, he says that a program is part of/must contain one or more processes. Now, while this may or may not be accurate, it is also very confusing and needs to be re-written to make it make more sense to layman/students.

⭐This is a good and very dense book. I rented this book for a college class and it was very helpful.

⭐I purchased this for a college class about Operating Systems. It is easier to understand than another book I bought from the same author for a different class. What is nice is that it covers real operating systems, ie. Windows, Unix, Linux, and sometimes Mac OS.

⭐Stallings is a pro. Needed it for an advanced course in OS. If you need it you should not try to go without the updated version of the book!

⭐Son’s college textbook. It was exactly what he needed for class. It did the job and arrived quickly. I’m not sure we would have purchased it if he didn’t need it for school..

⭐A little complex, but overall a good book.

⭐Good book, I recommend it using it with an implementation focused one such as https://www.amazon.co.uk/Design-Implementation-FreeBSD-Operating-System/dp/0201702452 or https://www.amazon.co.uk/Linux-Kernel-Development-implementation-Developers/dp/B00IJ0LRSC/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1515423297&sr=1-2&keywords=linux+kernel+development

⭐Great text book for OS.

⭐Se pasaron con eso de una edición “económica”. Las hojas están tan delgadas como las de un periódico, siento que si lo hojeo muy rápido romperé alguna por accidente.En cuanto al contenido, como dice el título de mi reseña, lo iré actualizando.Non capisco perchè un editore così importante e che dispone i diritti per un testo fondativo come lo Stallings debba fare il pulciaro utilizzando carta velina al posto di normali pagine, imponendo comunque un prezzo di copertina assai alto. Comunque c’è poco da fare con queste critiche sulla qualità di prodotto: se vi serve il testo cartaceo, non ci sono alternative.Tutto OK con questo ordine.
