Article: Unlike developing for the web, creating an operating system requires a strong understanding of algorithms, data structures, computer hardware, and resource management. People get degrees in this stuff, so don't expect to write an entire operating system after reading an online tutorial! Harvard's Intro to Computer Science course is available online through EDX at no cost. Once you've got a solid foundational understanding of computer science, the next step is to master C and/or C++. Like learning about computer science, mastering a language is not optionalyou won't be able to code an operating system if you can't write solid applications. If you're brand new to C, check out Dartmouth's C Programming: Getting Started course, which is free through EDX. Once you complete that course, you can take the next course in the series: C Programming: Language Foundations. Then, move on to subsequent courses like Modular Programming and Memory Management and Pointers and Memory Management. Assembly languages are low-level languages designed to communicate with different processors. Since assembly is different for different processor types (e.g., x86 assembly Language for Intel, AMD, VIA, and other processors), you'll need to learn the version for the type of processor you're coding for. This open-source book, if read in its entirety, can give you a solid enough understanding for building an operating system. The Art of Assembly Language is a highly-recommended book about assembly available both on and offline. You should also do a lot of research on the type of processor(s) on which your operating system should run. The manuals for processor architecture can easily be found using a Google search ("Intel Manuals," "ARM manuals," etc.). OS tutorials will walk you through the process of creating a basic operating system. This gets you used to the process and helps you figure out if there are any pieces you're missing. Once you've completed a tutorial or two, you'll be well on your way to creating your very own operating system. Bare Bones is a tutorial that helps you write your first simple 32-bit kernel. After completing the tutorial, the next step is to use Meaty Skeleton to structure your own operating system. Linux from Scratch is an online book that walks you through creating your own Linux operating system. Operating systems from 0 to 1 is a free book about creating various operating systems from start to finish. What do you want your operating system to do? How should it look? Do you really need to write an entire operating system or are you just looking to create a certain look for your desktop? These are all things to consider before beginning to code. Consider developing with a team of other programmers. Having a team of developers working on the project will cut the development time significantly. Add your project goals, plans, and questions to your public repository so it's easy for others to help you.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Take some basic Computer Science courses. Learn a high-level programming language like C. Learn an assembly language. Complete an operating system tutorial. Figure out your operating system goals.

Problem: Article: Since electric shavers work by shearing the whiskers instead of shaving them, you want your hair to be upright and brittle. "Lectric Shave" or other, alcohol-based pre-shave lotions remove excess oil and help the hairs on your face stand up, making for an easier dry-shave. Because the electric shaver shears instead of shaves, it can take multiple passes to capture the hair in the small perforations on the shaver head. Be patient as you go over the desired areas, and remember not to press down too hard. Your electric razor will have hair and dead skin will be caught in the device. Lift the head and dump the refuse into a trash bin. Optionally, put a small amount of metal lubricant on the head of the shaver after it's cleaned out. This will make the head of the shaver run smoothly over the surface of your skin.
Summary: Use pre-shave lotion specifically designed for electric shaves. Shave the desired areas until smooth. Clean your electric razor after you use it.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: In order to make your dorm room feel more like a small home and less like a large closet, you can lay a rug down. Place the rug either in front of your door or else in the middle of the dorm floor. A large, colorful rug will draw the eye of any visitors. You can also complement the room's overall color scheme with this rug. If you're planning to decorate your dorm room frugally, you can find online instructions for various ways to make your own rug. Pick up bedding supplies in a color or pattern that will complement the general color theme of your dorm room. In order to be well prepared for a year in a dorm, plan to purchase: one or two quilts or comforters, one or two comfortable sleeping pillows, a handful of decorative pillows (if desired), a sheet set (containing pillowcases, a top sheet, and a fitted sheet), and a zippered mattress protector. Before you begin shopping for dorm bedding, make sure that you confirm the bed size and length with the housing department. Most dorm beds are twin sized, and either standard or extra long. In addition to taking up floor space and serving as a practical decoration, as the desk will give you room to study and provide space to put your books and other personal possessions. You can purchase a desk and bring it with you to your university. Alternatively, your university may provide you with a standard wooden desk. This is another opportunity to communicate and cooperate with your roommate: you'll both need to decide whose desk will be placed where. Storage space can be tight in a dorm, and added shelving will give you space to store small items like textbooks, school supplies, and candles. You'll also be able to display small decorations on shelves: plants, standing framed pictures, decorative lamps, and other personal effects. If you'd rather add storage space in a less invasive way, shop for a hanging shoe holder (which will fit neatly in a closet) and a hanging basket to hold your shower and bathroom supplies.

SUMMARY: Place a colorful rug on your dorm floor. Buy plenty of dorm room bedding. Add a small desk to the room. Put up a little shelving.

Flowers, like most plants, need good soil to grow up strong and healthy. Regardless of whether you are planting your flowers in a pot or a garden, good soil is a must. Find out what potting medium is the best for the flowers you are growing and then try to find the best location or potting mix for your flowers. Although flowers are typically easy to grow, they can't be grown just anywhere. An area with too much direct sun or too much shade will be difficult for some flowers to grow in. Find out what type of light is best for the flowers you are planting. If you have a specific plant in mind to grow, check the light preferences for that plant and choose your plot accordingly. You may end up wanting to choose an area with more or less sun than your original plot has. If you plan on planting several different types of flowers, choose ones with similar light/shade requirements so that they grow equally well in the same location. Even with the perfect soil, ideal location, and healthy flowers, if you don't plant at the right time your garden will be ruined. Most flowers don't do well in weather that is too cold or hot, so it is usually best to plant flowers in spring because it is between these periods. Although planting in the spring may seem obvious, there is an art to choosing the perfect time. With the exception of bulbs and wildflowersplant these flowers in the fallwait to plant flowers till at least two weeks after the most recent frost, and avoid planting until temperatures at night stay above freezing on a regular basis. Use a farmer's almanac to find the best time to plant flowers in your area. Because of differences in weather in different locations, flowers can be planted anywhere from February - July. Check the seed packets of the flowers you are planting to find the best planting time for your flowers.
