What Operating Systems courses would you recommend?

Question

I'm looking to learn all of the things I missed out on by not getting a CS degree. Next up: Operating Systems. I know that there's the "dinosaur book", but it seems to be a bit old now. I'm definitely willing to dig into that book, but should I supplement it with more modern courses? If so, which would you recommend? Thanks in advance!

This Udacity course. This is a graudate level course on OS but touches a lot of on Multi-threading and the implementation in OS. The projects are super-intersting.https://www.udacity.com/course/introduction-to-operating-sys...

The book Design of the Unix Operating System, Maurice Bach. To a significant extent, it establishes the technical vocabulary found in other discussions of operating systems. It is written clearly for a general technical audience (e.g. telephony engineers, managers, etc. at Bell Labs). As a bonus it is very relevant today.

I'm taking "Introduction to Operating Systems" on Udacity. Lectures are good, but I wish there would be more hands-on with real-world examples. So far it's just theory.
