How do I start

[homersimpson153]

Hi guys,
I'm new to this forum.I read all the tutorial of the OS development.But I don't know where can I start. Which tools should I use,Wich language should I use(Pascal,C,VB..)?If is possible please write here the steps to create an OS.

Thanks in advance.

The wiki (link at the top of the page) is quite good for getting started. Might I recommend Getting Started and [wiki]Category:Languages[/wiki]?

Regards,
John.

Well first, we need to know if you will be developing in windows or Linux or something else and also what platform you will be developing for (most likely X86). Next you should make sure that you know assembly and c pretty well.

I would use Windows.The platform... I don't know.Maybe the better you know.And yes I know The programing in C pretty well.But not perfect.I will read a lot of books to know it better.I don't know where I start.I can't understand nothing.So please I need help.I created some software in VB and C++.And I know pretty good the Pascal.So where can i start?How can I design it?Which programs should I use?
Help me!!!

Thanks in advance

For Windows, DJGPP and NASM are good.

As for where to start,You can either write your own
bootloader or use an existing one (Such as Grub)

If you want to use Grub, The bare bones tutorial is pretty good.
(Its in the Wiki)

You can also try the tutorials at my website...

It creates its own bootloader though, writing an OS on Windows.

(btw, What is the format for the link? I tried several formats
from different sites, but they dont seem to work (in the preview) )

Hope this heps;
