Description

Welcome to write your own 64-bit operating system course.

This course teaches you how to build a simple operating system from scratch. It covers basics about the x86 architecture and low-level programming. In this course, we will take you through the process of building a small working system step by step.

The first part of the course teaches all you need to know (processor modes, paging, exceptions and interrupts handling, etc.) before you can build the kernel on the x86 architecture. In this part, we will see how to prepare for mode switching. We switch from real mode to protected mode and then jump to long mode. Our kernel is running in 64-bit mode. After we switch to 64-bit mode, we will see how to handle exceptions and interrupts, how to switch between kernel mode and user mode.

The second part of the course teaches you how to build kernel modules such as processes, memory management, interrupt handling, etc. In this part, we will see how to write a keyboard driver and a console, how to interact with the OS kernel using the console. After finishing this part, you should know how to write user programs and make them run in your own operating system.

Must replay audio over and over again to understand the logic of the lesson. Could suggest placing notes in the file, must learn more about calculating logical and physical addresses.

You can get this same information for free, I was hoping, due to the fact I was paying for this course, that you would have taught the correct way to do it all, in detail, for a end result of a mostly operating OS with file access, this is not the case, and you use 3rd party applications at the end to simulate fat16, in addition, through the first half of the course you explain everything in detail, as you write the code, then all of a sudden that stops, and you post all the code at once and briefly explain it, overall I could get all the information in this course, for free with google search, was a waste of money.

It lets understand the core concepts of how this kind of technology works, the informations are enought and they are explained as they are. Interesting and engaging even in a complicated concept like that.

Some part's lecture is too fast. Some of the codes is suddenly coming. And a lot of acronyms are used too frequently that if learners are not familiar with would result in going back-forward a few times.

avrei preferitp avere maggiori dettagli durante la configurazione di bochs, in particolare sul perche cambiavamo determinate e impostazini e cosa facevano !

Course is difficult for me to use because I am visually impaired and the contrast is very poor. Using dark mode on the code editor and using a larger more contracting font would have done wonders.

ça va très vite...on parle de windows 10 et on est à windows 11. je ne suis pas sûr que WSL2 ne soit pas déjà installé.... comment savoir

Hard to follow with white background. Very fast pace. Skipping over a lot of things. No intermediate testing.

Everything is good so far, what I had wanted to be covered is being covered. I think my only complaint is it's sometimes hard in places to tell what's being said.

Didn't explain more details about the settings that the instructor is configuring. Because we are learning to write OS, I think more emphasis is needed even on that minute details.

The course content is amazing and really helped me in a lot of things ranging from theoretical concepts to implementation. Would really appreciate an update containing GUI dev. Other than the problem with the accent at a few points, this course is just excellent!! Would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to get started with OS Dev.

I love seeing the details of how an operating system is created. I've done memory forensics for years and knowing the details of implementation has made a huge difference in my analysis.

This is great and well explained, but sometimes it's hard to understand him. It would be great to have transcripts or something.

This is an amazing course, I highly recommend it to students. The working samples provided were absolutely amazing. I believe that paging (the page table setup part) should be better explained. I had to google some stuff to better understand the content but that's okay.
