Great Book (would be 5 stars, but its dated).

This is a fascinating book written by R.C. Holt at U-Toronoto about a toy operating system they wrote in the early 1980's at UT, in the concurrent euclid language. It tells you just about everything you need to know to write your own computer operating system. In the early 1980's, you either bought this book, or you got yourself a bootleg copy of the annotated Bell System UNIX kernel source code, to learn systems programming.This book contains an awesome and intuitive introduction to synchronization - the best intro ever written in ANY book. I used to lend this book to my weaker OS students (At University of British Columbia) that were having trouble understanding synchronization - until one of them stole the book. I HAD to get another copy because this is a GREAT book.
