How Operating System Boots (A Linux book)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hands-On Booting --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A child gives birth to the mother Author - Yogesh Babar Publication - Apress Amazon link - https://www.amazon.in/Hands-Booting-Learn-Process-Windows/dp/1484258894/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=hands+on+booting&qid=1596389668&sr=8-1 I was in the first week at a new job, and I saw one of our customers asking for assistance on a “can’t boot” issue. I was new and inexperienced. I wanted to assist, but I could not. The customer was panicked since it brought production down. Every minute was counting for them because thousands of users were not able to access that system since it was unbootable. Everyone was panicking. Eventually, some of our most senior engineers resolved the issue. It took them almost five hours to put the system back in production. Everything turned out well in the end, but that tense situation created something in me, which was a desire to learn. I decided to learn the entire booting sequence. When I started looking for books and articles on the Internet, I was disappointed. There are thousands of books and countless articles available on operating systems, but I could not find a single book that thoroughly explained the entire booting sequence. There is a saying in the open-source world: if there is something you are looking for and it is not available, then build it. So, I decided to learn the booting sequence on my own. It took me years to understand the entire booting sequence. The best thing I did on my journey was to keep notes and also start teaching what I learned to others. After all, sharing is caring. My booting sessions became popular among engineering students and system administrators. Some of them really pushed me hard to write a proper book on the topic. Trust me writing a book is a massive endeavor. So today you can have the first book of booting in your hands.
