"Demystifies binaries and bit shifting operations. I've been coding for years but each time I needed to use bit shifting I had to find some reference online or just go through trials and errors until I got the desired results. Thanks to this short course, however I'm way more confident that I can do binary calculations and bit shifting operations in my head and as a bonus I see more clearly how it can benefit me in some use cases that I didn't consider before!"
