13. How to make an Operating System by Samy Pessé
How to make an Operating System is an online book about how to write a computer operating system in C/C++ from scratch.
The goal is to build a very simple UNIX-based operating system in C++, not just a “proof-of-concept”. The OS should be able to boot, start a userland shell, and be extensible.
14. Matters Computational – Ideas, Algorithms, Source Code by Matters Computational by Jörg Arndt
Matters Computational – Ideas, Algorithms, Source Code is a book for the computationalist, whether a working programmer or anyone interested in methods of computation.
The focus is on material that does not usually appear in textbooks on algorithms. Where necessary the underlying ideas are explained and the algorithms are given formally. It is assumed that the reader is able to understand the given source code, it is considered part of the text. The author uses the C++ programming language for low-level algorithms. However, only a minimal set of features beyond plain C is used, most importantly classes and templates. For material where technicalities in the C++ code would obscure the underlying ideas the author uses either pseudocode or, with arithmetical algorithms, the GP language.
