How relevant is David Chisnall's book *Definitive Guide to the Xen
Hypervisor* now with regards to studying Xen's source code now ?

Many thanks in advance,

Aaron

FWIW, I've found it largely irrelevant. It's been published more than a
decade ago now, so that's fair enough.

I suppose it's interesting if you'd like to see where Xen began. It's
also the only book on Xen written for developers, so it's got that going
for it.


HTH,
Razvan

Thanks that verifies what I thought.

Where is the best place to start for getting a logical unit level overview
of the source code please ?

There's some documentation under docs/ in the source code repo, there
are various recorded presentations from events such as the Xen Developer
Summit on YouTube, a Wiki (https://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Main_Page), and
then of course reading the source code itself and working with the
xen-devel mailing list.

Others may be able to recommend other resources.
