Fantastic
By Larry Black on 6/3/2020
The lectures are great, but in order to really learn this stuff, you need assignments. You need to include labs. A good practice assignment for "strace" would be providing 5-6 small, broken programs. Tell the students what the expected output of the program is and have them use strace to figure out why it isn't working. You learn this stuff by having to apply it (in meaningful ways) and there are a lot of students on here who aren't going to a University for Computer Science.

The course is great and well explained. My only regret is that the course on parallel programming is not yet on Udemy.

As an introduction. its a good course. its better if you cover a bit more in the readers writers problems and the bounded buffer problems
By Saketh Nandan on 9/22/2019
Yes, It was a good match. Brushed up my knowledge on Systems programming. Instructor seems knowledgeable, gave clear and simple examples to help understand the concepts. Looking forward to more courses from him. Thanks, Matt.

Great course to learn the basics of systems Programming
By Chris Kennedy on 4/12/2019
I purchased this course because I had an itch to scratch. I learned C++ and C in college, but I've been getting more and more interested into high performance computing, operating systems development, graphics, and other subjects along those lines. This course did more than scratch the itch for crossing over into those fields, I think I've acquired a full blown addiction. Very well done, concise, and just enough to make me really want more.
Great job, I can't want for the other courses.
