       | What does this cost?

       | This course is fantastic. For anyone that wants a campanion book
       | to go along with it, Computer Systems: A Programmer's Perspective
       | is a great book to go alongside it. (Just don't get the
       | international edition per the author's recommendation).

       | A couple of months ago I saw this on HN and subscribed (it was
       | $10 per month). It is endorsed a lot but my experience was not
       | that good. To me it seems like he keeps explaining himself
       | instead of explaining the topic (10 minutes of a 20 minute video
       | might just be about why he chose a specific example). I think he
       | is simply too defensive about what people might talk about him so
       | he tries to find what people might criticize and prepares answers
       | for them. Don't get me wrong, I've got more than my money's worth
       | for one month subscription and if you are interested in the topic
       | and you can afford it, there is some good stuff in there but I
       | just couldn't continue because those explanations became too
       | distracting for me.

       | I much preferred the articles Casey wrote some years ago.
       | 
       | His oral communication style is quite messy/noisy for my taste,
       | his writing style is also not super terse but I can parse it more
       | easily and get to the good stuff.
       | 
       | Overall the handmade gang is doing a good job, even if they are
       | often quite defensive and sometimes obnoxious.

       | what languages are used in those series
       | 
       | is it mainly c/c++

         | You can use any language to follow and solve the exercises;
         | Casey presents his own solutions in C/C++.

           | I wouldn't go that far. The first portion (the assembly
           | interpreter) looks doable in something like Python. But I'm
           | unsure how you're going to manage the other topics.

       | This course is excellent. I personally prefer Caseys
       | communication style as he pre-empts any ifs and buts to the point
       | be is making. This may lead to longer videos but the actual ideas
       | are explained thoroughly and stick. Every section I have
       | completed has led to decent insights for me, personally.
       | 
       | I can see some comments saying hes long winded, but he also
       | provides written transcripts with diagrams too if you prefer to
       | speed read through.
       | 
       | Hope he continues rolling out high quality videos going deeper
       | into the subject matter. Overall an excellent course imho.
