I finished all the projects except some OS classes in chapter 12. I would like to express my gratitude to this forum and the instructors who helped me solve problems regarding each project.

I started this project in 2018 when I was a master's student in environmental engineering. I had an interest in how computers work, which was the main reason why I bought this book. In addition, I wanted to work as a software engineer at that time and thought I could see if I had competence through this course. It turned out I did not have enough competence, but I acquired important knowledge and skills instead. By making the hardware and software on my own, I learned how computers work: how high-level language is compiled to machine language, CPU architecture and essential OS functions. Another important lesson was the method to detect bugs through trial and error. This skill helped me with my job when I had to write Python code to create sophisticated graphics or find out the system trouble as a sales engineer.

Without the support from WBahn, I could not have made such progress. Thank you very much.
