Hi! It's a really good thing to see OS development sites like this not give up for years past and to come. I have a question I feel is extremely important. In short: What is the most I can expect being able to do after studying and compiling and experimenting with every single bit of tutorial and sample code information contained in BonaFide website sections? _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ I have tried to learn about operating system development since around November 2004. I started learning assembly language in a DOS/Win9x environment, which took me 6 months to get a basic working level and to understand the basics of protected mode such as the GDT; and bought an AMD Ahlon 64 3000+. I previously had 3 years of knowing how to program basic things (Visual Basic, a little bit of C, and yet less about assembly; also HTML). All of the time in between was used to make countless failed kernel attempts, but I learned and used basic information found here and in the Google cache, and a little bit in MegaTokyo, and other interesting miscellaneous pages. Up to now these are the things I have been able to achieve:
Here is my website so you can see what practical things I have done while attempting to start my own and yet-to-exist kernel: [Click here] _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ Now, given a summary of what I'm globally able to do, and a demonstration of the things I have done and applied with my best programming effort in the real world, and which is actually what I have achieved from 2005 to 2011 working in this full time: What, and how much more could I learn from BonaFide documents, and what would I be able to achieve, if I were to invest up to one more year studying much more seriously and carefully every tutorial and source code found here, both in the documents of the "old" BonaFide website as well as those of the "current" site? What should be the next thing I should do, should read, etc., to master the things I can't do, and to actually have greater success with kernel and advanced programming, given my "middle-level" programming which is still not particularly applied yet in the real world? Do you have some sort of specific project or specific program I should be able to do other than a kernel, to truly demonstrate that I have improved and will be actually able to succeed in real-life system programming? Can you please give me a specific list of all kinds of algorithms, ordered from basic to advanced, I should learn from now on assuming I'm in a relatively "poor" performance level? |

There are a couple of things. I will see if I can dig up the eBooks I have. |
