Are these books outdated?

Hi,
Since  there was a concern about that theses books are outdated, I
want to mention here also
a book title "Professional Linux Kernel Architecture", by Wolfganag
Maurer, Wiley, 2008, 1368 pages.
(I read it partially)
And also I agree with Robert saying that he wouldn't count on that
publication date of LDD4 by Oreilly,, since indeed the publication
date was postponed in the past (at least once but maybe more, I am
unsure about that)

Regards,
Rami Rosen

Hello Aleksander,

I only know LDD 3:

* Linux Device Drivers, 3rd Edition (2005)
Since this book is freely available in PDF, I would advise you to
read it. It is out-dated (in sense you won't compile snippets as is)
but it is well written, and pleasant to read.

The version 4 was scheduled for dec 2015 iirc, but is now annonced
for nov 2017 on O'Reilly's website.
  i wouldn't count on that publication date. according to sources,
nothing has been finalized.
