## Overview

This repository is an open systems-programming coursebook for CS 341. Its principal workflow is a learner studying the book’s C and systems topics, from introductory foundations through operating-system and networking concepts. The chapter files show the subject areas; the README documents PDF, Markdown, and HTML exports. The sampled source mostly covers conversion utilities, so this map focuses on the documented book and its content rather than assuming how unsampled chapter files are wired or built.
