This course looks boring at first sight but when you try to complete the course's assignment it is very challenging

Instructors and the instructors who moderate the forums are great. It is a bit different way to look at programming but it makes sense and I would recommend to anyone who wants to learn C

More hands on than my native college course in ECE (10+ years back) with an increased focus on practical tools for programmers.

The blackbox testing assigments were sometimes frustrating, But I think forrcing to think about those was good for me :).

I learned very much in this course like testing, debugging but should explain more about emacs, Valgrind, gdb, etc.

Black box testing is very useful skill.
I would never use gdb if these guys did not make me. I'm happy they did! :)
