Download or read book Fysos written by Benjamin David Lunt and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2013-10-12 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is Volume 1 of the series, FYSOS: Operating System Design, and will take the reader from the point the computer boots up, through the boot code, through the file system loader, and then to the kernel. It explains in detail, each step of what it takes to create a minimum working, multi-threading operating system. Includes chapters on how to retrieve information from the BIOS, find partitions on the media, move to 32-bit protected mode, creating a memory manager, a task scheduler, and other necessities of operating system design. The available CD-ROM (upon request) contains complete source code of this minimal operating system, and many utilities for use in your development. This book also includes suggestions, examples, and other source code to help you build your operating system. This book, and its continued series of books, does not expect you to build the next great wonder of the computer world. It simply will help you with your interest in controlling the computer's hardware, from the point the BIOS releases execution to your boot code to the point of a fully working Graphical User Interface. It is not required that you know much about operating system design, though a strong knowledge of x86 Assembly Language programming and a moderate knowledge of an Intel(r)/AMD(r) x86 computer's hardware is expected to use this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is Volume 6 of the series, FYSOS: Operating System Design, and will show the reader how to create a Graphical User Interface, with all the bells and whistles that go along with it. It will show how to draw to the video screen, create windows and objects such as, buttons, menus, bitmaps, progress bars, and other objects.It will show how to send event messages so that other windows can communicate with the root object, suchas when a button is pressed, a text edit is changed, or any other change in the GUI system.All of this is done with minimal outside help, such as operating system calls, though a few calls to the BIOS are needed to retrieve the video hardware information. The reader will learn how to communicate with the video directly, reading and writing pixels to the screen to achieve these tasks.The companion CD-ROM contains complete source code of each example within the book, showing how to accomplish these tasks, and is heavily commented. The source code is a must to be able to follow along with the book, and is freely available once proof of book purchase is provided.This book, and its companion series of books, does not expect you to build the next great wonder of the computer world. It simply will help you with your interest in controlling the computer's hardware, from the point the BIOS releases execution to your boot code to the point of a fully working Graphical User Interface.It is not required that you know much about operating system design, though a good knowledge of C Programming Language and a moderate knowledge of an Intel(R)/AMD(R) x86 computer's hardware is expected to use this book.

This book does not need to be on the shelf every USB enthusiast, it needs to be right on the desk. Third Edition -- 20180420
Download or read book Measuring Construction written by Rick Best and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-04-17 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the size, complexity and importance of the construction industry, there has been little study to date which focuses on the challenge of drawing reliable conclusions from the available data. The accuracy of industry reports has an impact on government policy, the direction and outcomes of research and the practices of construction firms, so confusion in this area can have far reaching consequences. In response to this, Measuring Construction looks at fundamental economic theories and concepts with respect to the construction industry, and explains their merits and shortcomings, sometimes by looking at real life examples. Drawing on current research the contributors tackle: industry performance productivity measurement construction in national accounts comparing international construction costs and prices comparing international productivity The scope of the book is international, using data and publications from four continents, and tackling head on the difficulties arising from measuring construction. By addressing problems that arise everywhere from individual project documentation, right up to national industrial accounts, this much-needed book can have an impact at every level of the industry. It is essential reading for postgraduate construction students and researchers, students of industrial economics, construction economists and policy-makers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is Volume 2 of the series, FYSOS: Operating System Design, and will describe the process needed to connect a file system to your kernel. It explains the steps to create a file system independent link between a file system residing on the media to your kernel code. Once you have done this, a simple call to fopen("C: \filename.txt", OPEN) is all you need to open a file.It then goes into detail, giving examples of what a file system should be, how to create your own, and what to include in that file system. It also explains the process of a simple journaling file system.Part 2 of this book details four file systems, two commonly used and well known, and two hobby file systems.The companion CD-ROM contains source code to utilities to check your work, display the contents of a file system, dump a file system, and repair a file system.This book, and its continued series of books, does not expect you to build the next great wonder of the computer world.
