The course book this year will be:

Operating Systems: - Three Easy Pieces by Remzi H. Arpaci-Dusseau and Andrea C. Arpaci-Dusseau

 The book is a very good introduction to the world of operating systems and is actually quite fun to read. It is quite different from the traditional books that are used in course in operating systems but these books can serve as a good complement. One advantage of Three Easy Pieces is that is available as pdf chapter by chapter online free of charge. You can also order a printed copy at a very good price; talk to you class mates and order several or the shipping cost will be almost than the price of the book.
