Everyone say hi to Poptart

My recommendation for anyone wanting to write their first tech book is: multiply your expectations of how much effort it will take by *at least* 3.

"But I have realistic expectations" - cool, multiply them by 3

"It can't be that bad" - sweet summer child, multiply them by 10

It's available directly from the publisher, or bookstores globally: https://nostarch.com/building-a-debugger
Building a Debugger

Master the inner workings of your x64 Linux system and expand your OS expertise by writing your very own debugger using C++.

Sy Brand6d ago

Building a Debugger is now officially released!

It guides you through writing a whole native x64 debugger from scratch, dispelling all the magic and teaching you a ton about operating systems as it goes.

Even if you don't care about writing a debugger, you can read it to your cat.
