Very quickly skimming through the various chapters, it appears that content offers a gentle introduction to the topic. Attention has been made to provide clear and verbose explanations with supportive diagrams. Comparable other "guides" that I have stumbled across is osdev101 [1] and "Writing an operating system from scratch" [2]. [1] https://github.com/tuhdo/os01/blob/master/Operating_Systems_... [2] https://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/~exr/lectures/opsys/10_11/lectures...

Looks really good so far! Also, I would point out that (at least at this point in time), most of the OS code is here: https://github.com/tuhdo/sample-os One other thing: The following file: https://github.com/tuhdo/os01/blob/master/book_src/Operating... That is, the book's text, in text file format, would be one really great resource to have locally on the machine that someone develops OS'es on -- especially if they or that machine didn't have Internet access -- due to the fact that it is very information rich, and all of that information -- fits neatly into a single, simple, platform-agnostic text file... So, nicely done! Wishing you well, for the present and future success of this project!
