#Distributed System Course List

##Systems

• Cornell CS 614 - Advanced Course in Computer Systems - Ken Birman teaches this course. The readings cover more distributed systems research than is typical (which I am in favour of!). In fact, there's barely anything on traditional internal OS topics like filesystems or memory management. There's some worthwhile commentary at the bottom of the page.

• Princeton COS 518 - Advanced Operating Systems - short and snappy reading list of two papers per topic, covering some interesting stuff like buffering inside the operating system, and L4.

Free O'Reilly books and convenient script to just download them.

Thanks /u/FallenAege/ and /u/ShPavel/ from this Reddit post

How to use:

1. Take the download.sh file and put it into a directory where you want the files to be saved.
2. cd into the directory and make sure that it has executable permissions (chmod +x download.sh should do it)
3. Run ./download.sh and wee there it goes. Also if you do not want all the files, just simply comment the ones you do not want.

This is a collection of books that I've researched, scanned the TOCs of, and am currently working through.  The books are selected based on quality of content, reviews, and reccommendations of various 'best of' lists.

The goal of this collection is to promote mastery of generally applicable programming concepts.

Most topics are covered with Python as the primary language due to its conciseness, which is ideal for learning & practicing new concepts with minimal syntactic boilerplate.

JavaScript & Kotlin are listed in the Tooling section; as they allow extension of VS Code and the IntelliJ suite of IDEs, which cover most development needs.
