Hello Folks,

I am doing my engineering in computer science.

I basically want to work in systems rather than in application.

But the main problem with me that i dont have adequate guidance and
till now i only have very preliminary knowlede of c/c++.

I can write any program related to application but i dont have any idea
about what is system programming all about and how should i proceed
about it.

Please help me as i am very desperate about it.

The distinction is an artificial one. Programming is programming. If you can
truly write any program related to "applications", then just think of the
operating system as an application.

So read and practise more. Get a copy of The C Programming Language
(2nd Ed.) by Kernighan & Ritchie and go through it.

Ask a local counselor or CS instructor for advice.

If your strong on logic and mathematics, the details are easy to pick
up with time.

Learn Assembly Language/C (for OO learn oo oncepts and any oo lang.)
Master Data Structure and Algo.
Computer Arch and OS
study atleast x86 based any simple architecture.


after concept clear in above

learn how to debug.
refer good news group.(as they are more than text books)
refer good opensource System Programs
Design/Write your own code

I'm sick of this top-posting / bottom-posting fascism.
Let people do what they want, I can handle it.

dont give free advice without thinking.
dont try to be oversmart.

Please don't top-post.

`try` is off-topic on comp.lang.c.

It is just a small part of the general fascism that is this newsgroup.
I'd get used to it, if I were you (and planned to stick around).
