About the Book

Operating Systems and Systems Programming provides a practical and technically grounded introduction to the core structures of modern operating systems and low-level systems programming. The book covers processes, threads, scheduling, memory management, virtual memory, filesystems, synchronization, system calls, kernel mechanisms, concurrency, and resource management. Using Linux and contemporary systems as practical reference points, it explains how user space and kernel space interact, how operating systems manage hardware and software resources, and how performance, reliability, and correctness are affected by system-level design choices. It is intended for computer science and engineering students, software developers, systems programmers, and readers who want to understand how operating systems work beneath application-level abstractions.
