Introduction to Operating Systems

This is a phenomenal class. If you are interested in operating systems, take it. Take it. Take it. Take it. I have now taken 2 Udacity classes (this and Applied Cryptography) and they both have been of very high quality.

You will find that the instruction is densely packed with content and is explained in a way that is very easily understandable.

Of note is that this is a semester long college level class. Most MOOCs are not this long. It took me forever to get though this class, and something like 70+ pages of notes.

The only real weakness I found is with the sections on concurrency/mutexes. I got lost and couldn't catch up (even with rewind). However, I am not a strong C programmer, and my interest in not in writing parallel programs -- I want a more conceptual understanding. I now understand what a race condition, mutex, deadlock, et. al. are. In other words, I got exactly what I needed out of the concurrency section.

Take this class if you are interested in the subject matter!! You will not regret it.
