Systems programming began two days ago and I am very excited to get more in depth with this course. We talked about what exactly we will be doing and stuff like that, the normal stuff.

We got into some actual programming on the first day as well. We wrote a semi working version of cat, which worked but didn't include any of the arguments normal cat would usually include.

It is now the second day and we have learned more about different system calls and different system libraries within a Unix/Linux system. We went over a number of mind-blowing facts and just in general read man pages and the “.h” files.

I am very excited for the different projects we will be doing in the future. From what I have heard we will eventually write chmod and stuff like that, so that will be fun.

Today we created ls. It was a very pleasant experience. 10/10 would create again.
