Don't know which C++ book you are talking about?

Question

Books

Once I came across a book on C ++, the author of which at the end of the preface promised to write a small operating system together with the reader (that is, one of the last exercises was like that).
Don't know what book it's about?

Answer 1

Tanenbaum. Say "Modern Operating Systems". Book from the series "Classics of Computer Science". At the end, the "Minix" OS was given, on the concept of which Torvalds once relied, sort of.
