What Our Students Have to Say About OSR Seminars

Don't take our word for it - check out what developers from around the world have to say about OSR seminars they've attended.

• Speaking was very clear and good to understand, even for non-native English speakers.
• Amazing course. [Instructor] interjected the course material with anecdotes surrounding his debugging experiences and his experiences in the industry. I'm sure this increased the value of the content 200%.
• This was my first OSR seminar and probably won't be my last. I have always heard good things about them and totally agree. The week was enjoyable, entertaining, informative and I left Munich feeling 100% more confident in tackling more debugging issues.
• "I like the informal approach taken by the instructors who are obviously very knowledgeable in the field."
• "My overall rating of the course was it was indeed very valuable. In fact I don't know how people would go about creating the file systems without taking the course. I will recommend it to anyone that asks about the course, including making it a requirement for any co-workers at my company that will be participating in our file system filter driver."
• "As far as covering WDF it was very complete for three days and I learned a lot. The instructor was very competent and kept the course moving."
• "Instructor was very knowledgeable, confident and patient to represent the topic and answer all questions."
• "The word I would use to describe the class is - great. I will recommend anyone starting out with device drivers to attend to this seminar. For me being a developer who has never written a driver for Windows it was a great start."
• "The instructor performed a terrific job. I was quite impressed by his knowledge on WDF and the windows OS in general, and his ability to efficiently transmit it to the students."
• "What I liked most about the format was the bite-sized labs. It's nice to have something illustrated for you without too much surrounding complexity and the subjects and labs were nicely separated out."
• "One of the most lively and engaging seminar presentations on such a normally serious topic."
• "[Instructor] is a very good tutor. He presents the material with a (loud and) clear voice, often repeating stuff so one won't miss a thing. His long experience in the field shines through. When he got a question he could often refer to how it was designed and implemented in the Windows source code itself, and thus bringing a very clear and understandable answer."
• "It was an absolutely wonderful experience. [Instructor] knows the subject matter thoroughly, and can express the important points vividly and in easy to associate contexts. He is a very important player in the driver world, and made me feel very much welcome to this select community."
• "Great class, accommodations, and instruction."
• "The seminar was a demonstration that it is indeed feasible to put 50 lbs of sugar (knowledge) in a 10-lb bag (learning time)."
• "[Instructor] was energetic and did an excellent job of adding humor to keep the presentation lively. I would enjoy another class taught by him."
• "Well organized. Well presented. Good food. No complaints."
• "[Instructor] did a great job! Very relaxed and enthusiastic."
• "I would not trade this experience for the world. I recommend this seminar to ALL developers entering driver development."
• "With the seminar training, I was able to dive right in and create a useful driver in a few weeks."
• "Professional, well prepared seminar taught by well qualified instructor."
• "Excellent delivery and content."
• "[Instructor] was able to explain everything we needed to know and explained complex stuff in an easy to understand way by simplifying information while still addressing the key goals. Excellent!"
• "I could not do a WDF driver without this class. I have the Orwick and Smith book, but still I needed the class."
• "I learned so much more in the week spent here than trying to learn on my own these past 4 years. I only wished I took the class back then. OSR continues to provide the best training experience we developers could wish for."
• "The WDM Driver Lab Seminar was the right seminar for me. I have learned a lot. This seminar will help to achieve the goals in my daily work. Thank you for that great seminar."
