Welcome

Howdy Friends

Here are my notes from when I took GIOS in OMSCS during Fall 2018.

I have organized them into two sections:

• Lecture Notes
• Exam Review

Each document in "Lecture Notes" corresponds to a lesson in Udacity. Within each document, the headings correspond to the videos within that lesson. Usually, I omit the lecture preview, visual metaphor, and lecture review videos.

Each document in "Exam Review" corresponds to a completed list of questions that were provided ahead of the two exams.

Textbook Information

The following textbooks helped me get an A in this course:

• The Linux Programming Interface: A Linux and UNIX System Programming Handbook
• Operating Systems: Three Easy Pieces

Download These Notes

Some students have asked for PDF versions of the notes for a simpler, more portable studying experience. The following PDFs are available for download.

• Graduate Introduction to Operating Systems - Complete
• Graduate Introduction to Operating Systems - Lecture Notes
• Graduate Introduction to Operating Systems - Exam Review

Environment Setup

This class requires some environment setup. I have recorded the following YouTube walkthroughs, which may be helpful:

• Vagrant/VirtualBox installation on Mac OSX High Sierra
• File transfer from host to VM via Vagrant
• Bonnie JWT Host Vagrant
