|description=Complete description of the Oberon System. The Oberon System is the documentation of the successful attempt of two part-time programmers (being in their other job full time lecturers in computer science) to implement an operating system from the scratch. Starting from design decisions the authors dive into every detail of the implementation. The Oberon System has an unconventional user interface and needs quite some time and practice to get used to it.

The book "Project Oberon" is the third part of the Oberon Trilogy documenting the whole original system.

This book presents the results of Project Oberon, namely an entire software environment for a modern workstation. The project was undertaken by the authors in the years 1986-89, and its primary goal was to design and implement an entire system from scratch, and to structure it in such a way that it can be described, explained, and understood as a whole. In order to become confronted with all aspects, problems, design decisions and details, the authors not only conceived but also programmed the entire system described in this book, and more.
