Recommended watch in 1080p.
Part 20 of a series on OS development. 

In this video we plan a dynamic memory allocation system. I'm using a malloc function which I designed for the purposed of the tutorial, but there are many similar malloc functions available online.

I noticed that there is not many good Youtube tutorials on this subject, so I aim to change that (or atleast try).
I highly advise you to know how to write at the very least C or C++ code before starting this tutorial.
If you're an OS expert and you catch me doing something wrong, correct me! I want to share the most accurate information possible.

If you're looking for written information on how to learn OS development, I highly recommend this paper:
