BrokenThorn OS Development Series
About BrokenThorn OS Development Series:
This series is intended to demonstrate and teach operating system development from the ground up.
What is this about?
Operating systems can be a very complex topic. Learning how operating systems work can be a great learning experience.
The purpose of this series is to teach the black art of Operating System (OS) Development, from the ground up. Whether you want to make your own OS, or simply to learn how they work, this series is for you.
What is an Operating System?
An Operating System provides the basic functionality, look, and feel, for a computer. The primary purpose is to create a workable Operating Envirement for the user.
An example of an Operating System is Windows, Linux, and Macintosh.
If you have never programmed before
Computer programming is designing and writing software, or programs, for the computer to load and execute. However, the Operating System needs to be designed with this functionality.
An Operating System is not a single program, but a collection of software that work and communicate with each other. This is what I mean by "Operating Envirement".
Because Operating Systems are a collection of software, in order to develop an Operating System, one must know how to develop software. That is, one must know computer programming.
If you have never programmed before, take a look at the Requirements section below, and look no further. This section will have links to good tutorials and articals that could help you to learn computer programming with C++ and 80x86 Assembly Language.
