About

Bitwise Books publishes books on a range of programming languages and topics. We already have books on programming in C, using pointers and mastering recursion. Forthcoming books will cover other languages and programming techniques.

Bitwise Books is an imprint of Dark Neon, a company that publishes both books and online courses. The company was founded by Huw Collingbourne and Dermot Hogan. Our video-based courses can be found on the Bitwise Courses web site.
