A step-by-step tutorial teaching how to build an operating system from scratch in C and assembly, from writing a boot sector up to basic kernel features. It consists of short, code-heavy lessons with minimal theory, aimed at programmers curious about how OSes work.
Use cases
- learn how to write an OS from scratch
- build a boot sector in assembly
- write a simple kernel in C
- understand how operating systems boot
- hands-on operating systems tutorial
- learn low-level x86 programming
When to choose
- you want short, practical, code-first lessons on OS development
- you prefer minimal theory and quick exercises
- you want to start from a boot sector rather than reading an existing kernel
When to avoid
- you need a modern, authoritative OS design resource - the project is explicitly abandoned with known technical and design issues
- you want deep theoretical coverage of OS concepts
- you need production-quality OS code
