In this extremely exciting new project we will be coding our own Virtual Machine. That means creating our own virtual CPU with registers and our own simple Assembly language. We will also have virtual memory (a stack and a code segment) and possibly some IO in form of a virtual serial port or a floppy drive.
We will be coding everything from scratch and not make use of any external libraries/dependencies. Except my own. We will barely use the standard C library at all – if we need a function, we make it. In this episode you will learn a lot about pointers, how to structure a big project and make design choices. You will also learn quite a lot about structures and different types of data structures. And of course, you’ll learn the ins and outs of how a computer really works, at the low-level.
Why learn C from dr Jonas Birch and not from the other ten Udemy instructors?
Experience in the C language. When dr Birch was 18 years old and had been coding C for five years, he was traveling all over Europe, invited to different coding and security conferences, giving lectures about C and security. Since then he has coded C almost every day – for an additional 20 years!
Experience in teaching. Dr Birch has been teaching the C language (live) almost full time the last six years, helping hundreds and hundreds of students learn the mother of all languages – in Linux.
Very soothening voice and amazing sound quality. Dr Birch has a very dark, relaxing voice which is very easy to listen to (a really underestimated feature). He is recording in a professional recording studio with enterprise level microphone and equipment, which makes for a very good listening experience.
