The first-ever book aimed at introducing operating system development to absolute beginners. The topics begin with programming in C and programming in assembly, and progress toward practical OS development.The book uses only simple methods, so it covers only a few essential topics in C and assembly programming, making it suitable for beginners.

This training course is a reformatted, improved, modernized, and remastered full-color version of the previous x64 Windows Debugging: Practical Foundations book with additional material.

This book collects three essays I wrote in 2022 about the NetBSD operating system about binary formats and upgrades by building from source.

Build fast, secure and portable applications with WASI. Start with the fundamentals, then move into components, WIT, Wasmtime and real production patterns using Rust, C, Go and JavaScript. From sandboxed plugins to serverless and edge workloads, this practical guide gives you the skills to take WebAssembly from your first experiment to production.

Detection keeps getting smarter. So do the systems built to avoid it. Evasion Engineering explores the techniques, architectures and design principles behind stealth in modern computing, from operating systems and networks to cloud environments and machine learning. A practical deep dive for security professionals who want to understand how advanced evasion really works.

Discover how eBPF is changing Linux systems engineering. Starting with the fundamentals, this book walks you through building, debugging and deploying real eBPF programs for observability, networking, security and performance.
