About the Course

Learn the inner workings of operating systems without installing anything! This course is designed for learners who are looking to maximize performance by understanding how operating systems work at a fundamental level. The modules in this course cover the basics of the C language, processes, scheduling, and memory. To allow for a truly hands-on, self-paced learning experience, this course is video-free. Assignments contain short explanations with images and runnable code examples with suggested edits to explore code examples further, building a deeper understanding by doing. You’ll benefit from instant feedback from a variety of assessment items along the way, gently progressing from quick understanding checks (multiple choice, fill in the blank, and un-scrambling code blocks) to slowly building features, resulting in large coding projects at the end of the course....

This course is less about operating system concepts and more about programming in C. It's also filled with spelling and grammatical errors. The interactive shell and IDE are very cool when they work well, but they don't always work well. The summative assessments don't fully spell out what they expect you to do; for example the last assessment doesn't tell you that it wants you to use malloc() and free(), nor does it tell you that you must check for properly-allocated memory, but you'll fail the assessment if you don't do these things. I don't recommend taking this course if you either: a) don't know C; or b) aren't interested in learning C

The assessments are buggy, the slides have annoying animations that are harder to read than static diagrams, and the course uses a nonstandard interface that constantly opens new tabs and can't be used on mobile devices.
