Hi,

You said you where 9 when you first Googled yourself. But if I’m not mistaking, you were born in 1988. Since Google inc. was founded in 1998 you must have been at least 10 years old. And I doubt you already knew about Google right after it was founded. (True: Google Search already existed in 1997 but almost nobody in The Netherlands had heard from it in those days.)

Or did you mean ‘To Google – To Search on the web’?

Wilfred, I just like to write proper articles. That takes up way more time, and I don’t really have always time to write ;)

Tijn, I was 11 and wanted to learn how to make games, so no, I had no prior programming experience :p well, except editing DHTML files like it was ’99. which it was. I still have no clue what you are talking about :)

Wilfred, This should kickstart them again, I hope

oh man, I feel like a fossil now. I was graduating (bachelors) when I first used google, back in ’99…

Anyhow, bitshifting is essential for pushing 8 bit data over 7 bit systems, controlling a set of electric motors using just one cable (robotics) or decyphering stuff like wbxml ;-), base64, utf-8…
It’s also multiplying and dividing by two of course…

It’s in the 3rd chapter since you’re supposed to know how to program before you start with C++. Didn’t you learn Pascal/Basic/Logo first? (Don’t get me started about the state of software engineering courses these days. I’ll be ranting for days.)
