What Hacker News says
2 sourcesThe link to the systems course @ UIUC and probably other UIUC courses is not useful because the UIUC has just changed all of the the web pages in preparation for next semester.
If you're interested in C, thread synchronization, pipes and other system level programming concepts, then you might find the following freely-available and re-usable resources we created for UIUC's CS241 useful:
http://angrave.github.io/sys/#
Includes:
1. 7 minute intro videos on C and POSIX calls
2. linux-in-the-browser programming+shell playground that runs in your laptop's browser
My course staff will be releasing a new version of this VM in the next semester with additional features and bug fixes (including embedded man-page and autocomplete)
We also built a crowd-sourced book that mirrors most of the lecture content

Together, these items comprise a significant amount of the systems course CS241.
