Introduction to Operating Systems 4: Persistence
Codio
Learn how OSes store and protect data with no installs. Cover I/O, directories, file systems, integrity, protection, and distributed systems through short readings, images, and runnable code. Video-free and self-paced, with instant-feedback checks (MCQ, fill-in-the-blank, code scramble) leading into bigger builds.
About this Course
Learn the inner workings of operating systems without installing anything! This course is designed for learners who are looking to maximize performance by understanding how operating systems work at a fundamental level. The modules in this course cover input and output, directories, file systems, data integrity and protection, and distributed systems. To allow for a truly hands-on, self-paced learning experience, this course is video-free. Assignments contain short explanations with images and runnable code examples with suggested edits to explore code examples further, building a deeper understanding by doing. You’ll benefit from instant feedback from a variety of assessment items along the way, gently progressing from quick understanding checks (multiple choice, fill in the blank, and un-scrambling code blocks) to slowly building features, resulting in large coding projects at the end of the course.
What You'll Learn
- The foundational architecture and principles behind operating systems, ensuring optimized performance.
- Techniques to maintain data integrity and protection within diverse operating environments.
