Computer Systems: A Programmer's Perspective

Almost certainly the best single book of actionable, practical information in the OS and systems development genre today

great condition

The contents are good but the book says that its circulation outside of Bangladesh, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka is unauthorised. I didn’t pay to support piracy 😞

Gave me a whole new perspective on programming!

The book content is amazing, my issue is with this edition. It says not for sale outside of India.The print quality is bad, pages arent aligned and has really poor paper quality.Buy the official one instead.

The book's content is generally good, but this edition has many mistakes. I lost trust in the answers to the problems after finding they were correct in the original version of the book online but wrong in this edition. You will have to double-check answers, diagrams or explanations that do not make sense to you which makes it difficult to read!! It might be worth looking for a better edition of this book, probably the North American edition.

I am a PhD chemist that does computational physics and engineering, where programming is a tool, so admittedly not the standard audience. I like that this book feels is very practical, but not too simple. It’s a good resource for someone who does programming, but either needs to or wishes to learn a little bit about software and hardware. My only - admittedly pedantic - complaint is that the chapters are incredibly long. It would be nice to have shorter, more digestible chapters.

La edición que me ha llegado, además de tener una calidad de impresión mediocre, ha venido deteriorada, con arrugas en la portada y esquinas dobladas

This order arrived a couple of days before the estimated delivery date.It wrapping of the book was sturdy and there are just minor marks on the outside, which are totally fine seeing that it’s not a hard cover.

I own both the paper version and the ebook version. The paper version is an excellent book, highly recommended. The ebook version is barely readable, it contains many typographical errors, for example equations have exponents that don't appear properly as exponents, code formatting is messy, etc. Lazy cash grab probably done by garbage automated conversion software and no proof reading.

I have noticed there is a lot of mistakes in this book. One being in the first practice problem of chapter 2. For the solution, (2.1 question A) it says that the hex digit B in binary was 1101, and that D in binary is 1101. Now for the D, that is correct. But for B it is 1011. Now for the same practice problem 2.1, but for the other questions, B - D, it shows that hex B in binary is 1011..I was actually pretty livid. There is another one where it shows 1000 as 9, but that is a different practice problem.Also for the fractional section, in one of the practice problems, you have to fill in the blanks given certain values. One was 5/16, but the solution to that one shows it as 25/16.There is a lot more, but other than that, it is a very good read. I haven't finished it yet, but so far I'm loving it. I really recommend it.
