Hello Sergio,
you seem to be interested in userspace part of HelenOS. That means you
don't really have to worry about the kernel side of things. All you need
to do is grab your bazaar branch and generate cscope database. Then just
start coding.
What you need to know though, is how to use IPC. I'd recommend reading
HelenOS wiki on IPC and then looking at some examples in the code.
Also, don't be frightened by the lack of some common calls, like scanf().
And get used to using servers for some functionality.
If you're stuck at any point, feel free to seek help here.

Hi all, my name is Sergio, and I am a c and c++ coder, well also there
are others such as go. For some time I have been visiting your web and
some things, and I would like to help the project but I don't have much
of idea of OSes (well a bit), I tried to search something about that
but all I can find it's OS specific (mainly Linux) or Tanenbaum's book,
I thought neither of both were good, the first because it's OS specific
and the second because I think it's full of POSIX things (since it's
most MINIX code). So I would like some book were I could learn all the
necessary , or at least the basics, for HelenOS development. Or if not
a book, it could be a list of minimum knowledge. As a side note I would
to help in the desktop part (graphics, applications ...) so if someone
can send me info about that it would be really helpful.
