I'm sold. Based on your experience, would this course be approachable for self-study by individuals without 3 years of CS education? The MIT page[1] suggests the intended audience for the class are seniors and graduate students (M.Eng and PhD).

- DigitalJack 13y agoIn my opinion, the 3 years of CS has more to do with age of the student than actual learning. With a requisite level of maturity, this should not be a problem.
- sillysaurus2 13y agoI wish I'd studied xv6 in my early teens. It would've answered many of my inexperienced questions and served as a guide for how to write quality code and architect large systems. For what it's worth, I was able to learn xv6 just by working hard to understand everything fully. Effort seems to matter more than prerequisites. Plus it was a fun challenge. Also, please feel free to email me (sillysaurus2 at gmail) if I can be of assistance to anyone, e.g. by talking about some nuance of unix architecture or about anything at all. Intensive self-study can sometimes feel overwhelming, so feel free to message me for encouragement.
