Welcome to Operating Systems (OS)!

This course offers an in-depth introduction to the essential concepts and principles that govern modern operating systems. Throughout the semester, you will explore how operating systems manage hardware and software resources, enable process coordination, and provide a stable and efficient environment for user interaction and program execution.

You will engage with key topics such as process management, memory management, CPU scheduling, synchronization, deadlocks, and virtual machines. The course combines theoretical discussions with hands-on programming exercises using Python, virtual machine installations, and system simulations to solidify your understanding.

By the end of this course, you will be able to analyze operating system design choices, evaluate algorithm strategies, and confidently install and manipulate operating systems in virtualized environments—paving the way for deeper studies in system administration, computer architecture, and advanced computing.
