"Okay for completely new beginners. Found this very thin content-wise, but I'm very much not the target audience for this course, so I gave this three stars because I imagine it has some value if you've never seen this operation before. However I think that no discussion of bitshift operations makes any sense unless you talk about flags. Bitmasks / Flags are still in use widely and are probably the most common use of bitshifting that a programmer will see these days, so their omission feels pretty jarring."
"Excellent content! First course I've watched here on Pikuma, Gustavo explains things visually and in a very methodical way."
"Great Course! Great explanation of what can be a tricky thing to get used to."
"PIKUMA is the best!"
"Very Clear and Easy to Understand. Thanks, Gustavo! Your explanations and examples are always clear and easy to understand. I heartily recommend any (or ALL) of Gustavo's courses!"
