Intro to Operating Systems 1: Virtualization

Without installing anything, learn the inner workings and secrets of operating systems!

This course is for those who want to optimize their performance by learning how operating systems work at a basic level. This course covers the basics of C language, scheduling, memory, and processes.

This course does not include video to allow for hands-on learning and self-paced. Assignments include short explanations, images, and code examples that can be run. You will also receive suggested edits so you can explore the code further. This allows for a deeper understanding through doing. Instant feedback is available from a variety assessment items. You will benefit from quick understanding checks (multiple choices, fill in the blank and un-scrambling codes blocks), to slowly building features that lead to large coding projects at end of course.
