I really like his books. A fun anecdote is that I had him as a college professor in the early 90's before I knew that he was a SciFi author.
Among other things, he taught me how to write pre-emptive task switching in 68k assembly language.
Fun times!
- ethbr1 3y agoWas he that assembly professor who was way to interesting to be just a professor? Had a similar one.
- fl7305 3y agoHe was very good both at teaching and being interesting just in general.
- relwin 3y agoI liked his test structure: write "I don't know" for minimal credit opposed to wasting his time with a false paragraph. Also, a very prepared prof.
- fl7305 3y ago30 years ago, so I don't remember that part. But yeah, overall he was perhaps the best teacher I ever had.
