given that i just haven't had the time to keep working on it (and i'm going to republish it anyway, somehow, for free), i've dropped the payment requirement of the intro to kernel programming course i wrote back here: http://www.crashcourse.ca/ up in the top left, you can see two links to courses -- the original and the 2nd edition. the original is now completely free, have at it. the 2nd edition (also free) is simply the somewhat-updated version of the free part of the first edition, so you can (i think) start with the 2nd edition and, when it runs out, go back to the 1st edition and pick up where that left off. yes, what's there could stand some updating but it's still probably adequate to get you going, and writing and loading your first kernel module and character driver. my plan for the future is for a totally-updated similar course, again designed for newbies. not sure how i want to make it available -- perhaps through github or some other social platform -- but whenever or wherever it appears, it will be free. more on all of this in a bit. questions? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
