Subject: how to get into the xen project?
To: xen-devel@lists.xensource.com

Hi,

I am very interested in the Xen project and virtualization platforms
in general and would like to learn Xen' internals and being able to
understand what's going on in the background. Since I haven't done a
lot of code reading yet, only experimented the Citrix XenServer and
the Xen that ships with RH, I was wondering whether you could
recommend me something to start with?

I would also like to know whether these books are still up to date, as
they seem to have been written sometime ago:

Running Xen
The definitive guide to the xen hypervisor.

Any book recommendations aside from these books, are more than welcome
and appreciated! Any pointers, tips, tricks the same.

Thanks!

I would take a look at the David Chisnall book,
http://www.informit.com/store/product.aspx?isbn=013234971X, The
Definitive Guide to the Hypervisor. It is written in great detail about
the code itself including all the APIs, etc. Great place to start.
