What are Bit Masks, and how do I use them? (examples in C) // This is a quick video about Bit Masks and Bit Masking, a topic that a lot of students don't get until long after it would have been useful. This video will show you how to remove unwanted bits, select the few bits you want, or combine bits in useful ways.

Welcome! I post videos that help you learn to program and become a more confident software developer. I cover beginner-to-advanced systems topics ranging from network programming, threads, processes, operating systems, embedded systems and others. My goal is to help you get under-the-hood and better understand how computers work and how you can use them to become stronger students and more capable professional developers.


About me: I'm a computer scientist, electrical engineer, researcher, and teacher. I specialize in embedded systems, mobile computing, sensor networks, and the Internet of Things. I teach systems and networking courses at Clemson University, where I also lead the PERSIST research lab.
