If you know C, then all is fine. If you don't know C, you should learn it first. And if you don't know how to program, you should definitely learn to program first.

Also notice that merely "knowing" the language isn't enough. You have to be good in "programming with it".

Indeed, this board can help you with the subject, as long as you know how to program first, and start by reading what is already answered (especially the FAQ, which you should have found by now... hint: QuickLinks)

Well, the basic procedure is to first design an OS, which is often the tricky part, and then write the OS using your favourite low-level programming language capable of running without external runtime libraries (which most probably means C or C++).

You also need lots of time, and enough persistence not to give up the 107th time it still doesn't work

Also, you definitely need to develop a good skill in finding information with a search engine, see below.

and please if any person had Minix source code to download show it here .

Searching Google for "minix" gives Andy Tanenbaum's page on Minix as first hit. That page includes a section "GETTING MINIX".

That said, most of your questions are answered (better) in all the OS FAQ's out there, so let's not repeat it all here.

Well , i know C++ ..
i learned about :
if , else , else if , switch case .
struct , array , cout , cin .
OOP , const , define , variable .
ifdef , ifndef , loop , file handle .

all this subject i know about .

i can understand any simple code , but i can't understand any large project like os or programming language or GUI programme .

i can only understand under dos programme .

hmmmmmmm , what is programming language low-level deffrient C/C++

i think C/C++ it's better for this functions .. i am true ?

Yeah , i found my web site about this os but i don't found links


thanks for all

On this site:
http://atrevida.comprenica.com/gameprog.html
You can practice all the low level basics in dos.
it contains good info on memory in the pc, interrupts etc.

It?s for game programming, but since you only(?) know dos programming, it can be a good way of learning the low level things in a soft way..

Edit: it also contains a 80x86 Assembler tutorial (witch is very good to know when programming a os).
