About This Lesson

Hi Dan, thanks for making this course. Just out of curiosity, can we modify this compile...

Hi Dan, I am kind of junior developer. Please suggest pre-requisite for this course.

Hey Daniel , I want to build this on mac silicon chip without using virtual box for ubuntu...

Can this course be extended for ARM architecture?
