Operating systems, infrastructure, emulation, and technical history.
Build a warning-clean Haiku GUI with BApplication, BWindow, layout-managed controls and BMessage handling, then test its real lifecycle.

Use Haiku Terminal, Bash profiles and native filesystem tools safely, write portable scripts, and separate POSIX habits from Linux assumptions.
Configure WebPositive's real settings, organize file-based bookmarks, control history and cookies, and handle downloads and credentials safely.
A source-grounded map of Haiku's kernel: teams and threads, virtual memory, IPC, scheduling, modules, system calls, drivers, and debugging.
How Haiku's native API is divided into cooperating Kits, with shared conventions for messages, ownership, status codes, linking, and threads.
How Haiku BQuery combines BFS indexes, typed predicates, BMessenger updates, saved searches, and defensive state reconciliation.
How Haiku BLoopers own dispatch contexts, BHandlers receive typed messages, BMessengers cross threads, and locking preserves state.
How Haiku's Media Kit connects producer, consumer, filter, control, and time-source nodes using negotiated formats and shared buffers.
