ABSTRACT
In the spring of 2004, a semester-long course for undergraduates was organized as part of CMU's student-taught StuCo (student college) curriculum. The course covered material ranging from a historical background on Inferno's development, the Limbo programming language and related systems such as Communicating Sequential Processes (CSP), to the implementations of the Inferno emulator and native operating system. This paper details the structure of the course, lessons learned explaining concepts about the Inferno and Plan 9 operating systems and presents examples of questions raised and misconceptions incurred by students during the 12 week course.
