Welcome to 'Introduction to Operating Systems' course !
This lecture provides an introduction to Operating Systems (OS) and explores the role of an OS in managing hardware resources. The lecture begins with a simple "Hello World" program, demonstrating the complexity of directly interacting with hardware. It then emphasizes the concept of abstraction, highlighting how operating systems provide a layer between applications and hardware to simplify programming and enhance portability. The lecture discusses the sharing of hardware resources such as the CPU and main memory among multiple applications. Finally, it outlines different classifications of operating systems, including embedded OS, mobile OS, desktop OS, and server OS
