Operating Systems

An Operating System is an interface between a computer user and computer hardware. All of us might be using Windows/ Linux/MacOs but it is very essential for one to know how these operating systems actually work. i.e How multiple processes run together, How different tasks are scheduled, How are the resources managed, How is the memory accessed etc.
