Creating an OS

  #1  
Jul 14th, 2005
Hi everybody!

I want to create my own OS.

I already know:
Java
C++
HTML
3D Game Design
C#
Pascal

I was wondering if any of what I know might come in use. Is there a tutorial on making your own OS i could follow???

Thanx in advanced for your time!

you need to move down to C and Assembler. Look for books by Andrew Tanenbaum (he taught Linus Torvalds) Andrew designed an OS called Minix specifically for teaching students about OS's it comes with one of his books with source.

I'd be interested in how you get on, I have started my own OS too just to get a better insite into how they work under the hood so to speek.

Indirectly through his book perhaps, but Linus was never a student of Tanenbaum.
I'm here to prove you wrong.

You're right I don't where I got that from. Linus studied in Helsinki and started Linux because Minix was lacking some things he needed and GNU/HURD was a long way off.

A book that might be useful: MicroC OS II: The Real Time Kernel. Jean Labrosse's site is http://www.ucos-ii.com.

Many operating systems' source code are freely available. They certainly are not written in HTML, though...

You might want to take a second look.
