The tenth edition of Operating System Concepts has been revised to keep it fresh and up-to-date with contemporary examples of how operating systems function, as well as enhanced interactive elements to improve learning and the studentÂs experience with the material. It combines instruction on concepts with real-world applications so that students can understand the practical usage of the content. End-of-chapter problems, exercises, review questions, and programming exercises help to further reinforce important concepts. New interactive self-assessment problems are provided throughout the text to help students monitor their level of understanding and progress. A Linux virtual machine (including C and Java source code and development tools) allows students to complete programming exercises that help them engage further with the material.

Never buy this book here.

Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2019

Verified Purchase

Without a doubt, the content of this book is wonderful and informative. Back then, I studied the OS with this book, and bought this book of 10th version again to review the concepts.

However, I just realized that some features in this book are only available in ePub version which is not the version of the ebook here. As a result, I cannot see the answers to the exercises in each chapter and also cannot use other features like animations and so on.

I contacted the Customer Services but they refused to issue a refund as it's been 9 days since I bought it. They just suggested that I buy the same book of ePub version and read it using another app. This situation is really annoying.

I know that the author mentioned about this, but it should be more properly informed. I never saw the notice when I was purchasing it.

This is what computer-related books should be like. It is thorough, in depth, information packed, authoritative, and exhaustive. You cannot get this kind of excellent information from the Internet - or many other computer books these days.

I have a degree in CIS but missed out on the OS courses (took different courses instead). So years ago I bought what was at the time the newest edition of this book, and loved it. A few years later I bought an updated version, and now - even more years later - bought the newest version as of today.

It's a shame that quality computer books are declining so rapidly in number. I hope they continue to update and publish this book for many years to come.

Congratulations!

Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2021

I'm reading it. It seems an example to follow in the literature Operating Systems.
Plus points: supplementary documentation available slides summary...
less points: a bit expensive, but maybe legitimate... an example to follow
I could eventually translate it to mother language Portuguese (less spelling faults), but 9th edition is already available... thus, somebody else had already the idea related with publisher entreprise, and is probably presently busy with translation of this edition => it shows it deserved to be translated... congratulations

Got it for school

Completely useless textbook that my professor required and then never used. Also overpriced. Unless you're going to be doing questions right out of the book, I wouldn't recommend it.

O Gate of Knowledge, for cheaper options just buy the e-book or download it from somewhere lol

Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2020

Great book, only the pages are uncolored, and some features are not in the book that are only available in e-text,e-book,ePUB or whatever it is called. You need to read both to get its full potential. Defeats a bit of my purpose to reduce eye strain.

Good but definitely not perfect!

I got this book for my OS class which I recently finished and got an A in. This book is good at breaking topics down but at times I feel it doesn’t give enough information on topics.

I’ve upgraded to this text which seems good and has lots of extra material. But the publisher changed and they didn’t print a lot of the paper version for this year
