"I found this course to be clear, concise, and informative."
"Very well done! Wanted to check out the teacher style, so I enrolled. I was familiar with the argument, but was still pleasantly surprised by the course: Absolutely well done and beautifullly explained!"
"Great explanation of bit shifting. I came across this wonderful site by accident, the content is clear, well structured and with precise examples."
"Good foundations. This course gives a good math foundation and examples to understand bit shifting in modern high-level programming languages. The instructor takes the time to explain the main subject with examples which enhances the learning experience."
"Excellent! I only expected to learn how bit shifting works but in addition to that I learned about compilers, programming languages, assembly code, processors, video game history and some nice math tricks. This guy is simply on another level!"
