Okay, I am new to operating system development. I know BASIC, C#, Part of C++, Java, and HTML. I do have past programing experiance (I used to work for BDCR) but never attempted to write my own OS. I would appreciate it if you could tell me all of the components necesary in order to have a working OS (Besides Kernel, and Drivers). Is there any programing language that I should learn (Besides Assembly)? What is the first thing that I shoul begin to develop? Please Hepl!

Have a look at Dark Fiber's OS FAQ. (Go to 'Development Links' on this site, the second last link.) It answers most of your questions.
