[9fans] Source Code.

[Isaac Cortés]

How do I download the full source code of the kernel of Plan 9? I hope you
forgiveme this kind of ask, but I'm just a noob^999.

and flexible enough to do good software design (and I don’t mean OO
“design”, where you spend countless hours rewriting your code to rejiggle
your object hierarchy, or you fret about faux “problems” like has-a vs.
is-a). You need training to think of things at multiple levels of
abstraction simultaneously, and that kind of thinking is exactly what you
need to design great software architecture.”

Download the installation image from the website, gunzip, mount the resulting ISO image, then look in <mountpoint>/sys/src.

Easier option: grab
http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sources/extra/plan9.tar.bz2, untar it, look
under plan9/sys/src/9 for the kernel source.

Good luck! The kernel is pretty readable and small enough to really
sit down and know what all the files are doing. Be warned that some of
the C is going to be in Plan 9's particular idiom, but in general you
can learn good practices from it. If you want to learn about writing
Plan 9 programs in general, check out the stuff under /sys/src/cmd.

Thanks a lot  to everyone, I'm planing (my english sucks too) to learn about
O.S. and C with this project, 'cause I'm kind of Hipster Student
Informatic's

Thanks again, I'm not very smart but a persistent person, so maybe I'll last
thousand years trying until I'll master C and the source code but I will.

You may find Nemo's books about Plan 9 useful as well.

Specifically:

Notes on the Plan 9 3rd edition Kernel source
Introduction to Operating Systems Abstractions Using Plan 9 from Bell Labs

Have fun!
