Introduction

Welcome

Welcome to Operating System development; the great frontier.

Not all make it in this field, many don't even pass the "Hello World" of OSDev, but will you go on to create the next Linux? Or Windows? Or are you goals lower - MenuetOS? Or even CP/M?

What ever you goals, OSDev is the great pinnacle of programming. But, you're not alone. Infact, this entire website, include the forums and Wiki, are dedicated to OSDeving. OSDeving is not only about great programming skills, but is about community and developing friendships. Be those friendships between fellow forum members or IRQs and processes.
