Both the course and the book are phenomenal. In my opinion they are up there as one of the best CS resources. I finished it two years ago and still think about it fairly often.
The compiler exercise is beyond excellent and cracking it feels like a milestone.
I remember being so excited for Bloodlines because I had no way to play AC2. It was really impressive what you and your team managed to accomplish on a handheld. Now knowing that you built it from the ground up makes it even more amazing.
Can you share more about the experience, the development process, and any other PSP titles you worked on?
