Virgil Dupras, author of Collapse OS and Dusk OS, begins a tutorial series that walks programmers from bare-metal PC assembly through building a Forth and a partial C compiler from scratch.
The series targets working developers who want to understand low-level programming but lack experience in it, covering the full stack from boot sector to compiler. It is a single-author project carried by one feed, so its ongoing value depends entirely on continued publication of episodes.

The series starts from bare metal on the PC platform and builds a Forth implementation from scratch before moving to Dusk OS.
The eventual goal includes building a partial C compiler sufficient to compile example code, again from scratch.
The target reader is a programmer with general experience but little background in low-level development.
