Hello. I would like to ask, what your advise would be to a person that wants to get in the kernel development industry, without having a coputer science degree. I attended some classes for computer science, but due to some difficulties i left after the first semester. During that time we learned a little bit about operating systems and the basics of programming. Is learning operating systems C and Assembly, for a specific architecture, (e.g. x86) a good start? What should my steps be after that? Thank you in advance.

Read the documentation : https://docs.kernel.org/process/development-process.html Read this by Valdis again and again... ( and again! ) https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/pipermail/kernelnewbies/2017-April/017765.ht... After reading the above by Valdis go ahead and give it a go, this is how I started. When I said read the documentation... If you think about it there is no better documentation than the actual source code. Reading the source is one thing... understanding/comprehending it is totally another :-) Hope this helps! Aruna
