Hi Ty --
Perhaps you could check what textbooks are currently used at your
local
college or university for a class on these subjects.
But before tackling subjects of this magnitude you should really
have a very
good understanding of data structures and objects -- what they are
and how
to implement them in your favorite language.
I think you already have some exposure to different types of
languages from
the various projects you have tinkered on, and looking at the fruit
basket
samples.
But when you get into OS and compiler construction, you really need
a good
grounding of experience with the basics.
The only thing about this that has changed since I was in school in
the 80s
is that OO programming has emerged in a big way. But when you are
talking
about actually writing a little operating system, you are talking
about low
level details and data manipulation below the level of objects.
Hence the
old fashioned constructs like stacks and queues and locks are
important.
Sorry I'm not much more help.
You probably noticed on program-l the note that safari books have
suddenly
become inaccessible to persons using screen readers. And they don't
sound
promising about fixing it. Perhaps you should join in the protest
to get a
blind friendly site back.
Happy hacking.

Subject: looking for books... still
Hello,
Previously I wrote in asking about some books on OS and compiler
design; I still have yet to find anything. I did a bit of searching on
bookshare but didn't find anything; I would just pay the $50 for the
subscription for those. Is there any other way I could find what I
need? Help would really be appriciated.
Thanks,
Tyler Littlefield
