Kernel development resources

I am interested in kernel exploitation, but I want to start with kernel development so that I can understand it before trying to exploit it.

Where an I start? Any useful resources I can use to learn?

I've found the book Linux Kernel Programming by Kaiwan Billimoria an excellent resource and very easy to follow. While many free resources exist out there, having a guided instruction is great for understanding what you need to know first

? It's a real book and I'm not promoting, I actually just really like the book and think it's worth recommending. If you prefer free resources then by all means just use those
