"Steve is one of the best instructors I've had in 19+ years with [company]. He's knowledgeable, interesting, and not boring."
"A very thorough job. Instructor was extremely knowledgeable."
"This was a very challenging course. Instructor kept students engaged and forced us to think."
"One of Stephen's responsibilities as mentor to our project at [company] was to bring many new hires quickly up to speed in C++ and OO design (the project eventually employed over 60 developers). To accomplish this, he analyzed our domain and put together a combination of existing and customized training material that precisely met our needs. His delivery of the material was effective in moving new hires quickly into production development, and was instrumental in the eventual success of the project."
"Instructor really knew material."
"Overall, the course was excellent. I learned a lot."
"...In particular, Steve has an unsurpassed understanding of C++. He developed the best grammar I've ever seen for the language. He quickly earned the lasting respect of everyone who knows how to write C++ compilers."
"I can't emphasize enough how important it is to learn a subject from someone who actually knows it!"
"Instructor is perfect!"
"I would recommend this instructor to anyone. He is really good. He cares about the subject and students that he is teaching."
"Excellent knowledge and use of the English language."
"Steve's explanations of even quite perverse aspects of C++ syntax are very patient and clear. He gets ideas across so simply that it seems effortless. Perhaps most important of all is that he communicates the purpose of each area of C++ and its application."
"Steve really knows his material and made class most enjoyable."
"Very good course. Great instructor. Hard concepts."
"Very good instructor. Knew material well and made it interesting."
"Outstanding. Bring him back!"
"His courses were popular with the developers, and permission to enroll in one of Steve's courses was considered an important perquisite of working on the project."
"Excellent!!"
"Steve is an excellent instructor. This is the best course I've attended from [company]."
"As a writer of compilers he KNOWS what goes on behind the scenes of the C++ programming language itself."
"Everything outstanding. Repeat it [the course] more often for others."
"Steve is one of the most knowledgeable instructors that I have ever had in a technical class. His insights into compiler design clarified many of the more abstract concepts."
"The instructor was very 'enjoyable' and interesting, witty, etc., and volunteered lots of real life examples. This instructor really does it and the difference is apparent."
"Excellent instructor. Dynamic, articulate, knowledgeable."
"I liked the fact that the problems encountered in day-to-day programming and how to solve them were addressed."
"[I liked about the course:] Instructor's level of expertise and excellent teaching skills. This course will be extremely useful in my current assignment."
"[I liked about the course:] Lets the participant know what's good, what's bad, and what's ugly, what works and what does not. I think everybody associated with C++ product development, in any capacity, should take this course and remember what was taught."
"This course teaches you guidelines to develop good C++ code for large projects. I would definitely recommend to any recent college graduate (like myself) to take it. Most of the topics are not taught at school."
"Great in-depth topics. Good discussion. Good professor."
"Knowledgeable instructor. Did not skimp on material content. Provided a great base even though it was an intro course. Finished all provided material 'and more.'"
"Course content was very clear. The instructor very effective in explaining the course material and answering questions."
"The course is very well designed. Steve Dewhurst took us through the course very smoothly. Given more time, he could be exceptional and can cover the more important material in detail. The labs are also very well designed, starting from the very basic and adding on the functionalities as the course advances. I highly recommend that more of Steve's advanced courses be brought to [company]."
"Very good presentation skills. Very knowledgeable."
"Excellent knowledge of the language."
"I have already recommended this class to my colleagues. Worth my time. Great class."
"Great job of presenting the material in an understandable manner."
"One of the best courses I've taken here at [company]. Excellent class exercises."
"[I liked about the course:] Instructor's thorough understanding of the topics and patience of explanation. In addition, he focuses on difficult and important topics and gives us lots of examples on the board."
"Instructor is good, not slow, explains well."
"Very technical instructor which is useful to the advanced C++ programmer."
"The instructor brought this otherwise dry subject to life with insight and humor--intelligently presented."
"More of our 'experienced' C++ programmers should take this class. They'd learn C++."
"He kept my attention and I was very impressed."
"Very good course for
experienced C++ programmers."
