    Looking for a standard book on C

    Hi,

    I am supposed to be involved in a project where we are going to develop a small version of OS. And quite obviously the language is used for this is C/Assembly.

    So I would like to know the names of few good books on C so that we can get in depth knowledge in C for developing an OS or any other industry level projects on C.I have few books on Assembly with C

    Could you please suggest some good books on C. I have checked few book on internet like complete reference in C or something like that but those books are meant for beginners or semi beginners or not quite useful for research team.

    Regards,
    Codexxx

    If you're already proficient in C, then I wonder if what you really need are some good books on operating system features and algorithms.

    What operating system features do you need to provide?

      Hi Donbock ,

      Thank you very much for your reply. Actually I am looking for a book where I will be able to learn to make some driver for peripheral devices or some hardware interaction with C or some system level programming which will help me make an OS from scratch. And of course I have seen some OS books but those are theoretical by nature and does not provide the practical knowledge for making an OS of our own.

        OSDev.org
        Or you can Google for the developer areas of Linux or FreeBSD to get a handful of information about such things.

            Hi drhowarddrfine,

            Thanks a lot. The OSDev.org is an excellent site for developing an os. That is a good resource for computer science student. So I am trying to make full use of that for sure. Also let me know if there are anything else on the net . Thank you once again.

            Cheers,
