Looking at it, it seems like a rather lousy resource. Generally speaking, you should probably stay away from tutorials. They're often written by overenthusiastic but inexperienced people, they're limited in both size and scope, they only present a very small part of the picture, they often have all sorts of subtle errors (I even saw a couple in the two minutes I skimmed it just now), and, worse of all, the audience is left thinking they've learnt much more than they actually have.
Sounds right! Unfortunately
I think that probably applies to all OS dev tuorials because OS dev needs a different kind of thinking than for example implementing bubble sort or writing an editor. A good OS dev tutorial IMHO should not present ready solutions.
Or can you recommend a certain OS dev tutorial?
EDIT: I think one main difference is, that nobody needs or wants to write an identical OS like existing ones. But "Bubblesort" and an editor can and perhaps should be implemented in one right way and not else-way. So OS devers can't or shouldn't follow anyone byte by byte.
Happy hacking
