A cult book, which has become for many the first confident step in programming.
Although modern computers are more complicated than computers of a quarter -century or half -century ago, they have not changed fundamentally. That is why to study the history of technology is so cool: the more you deepen into the past, the easier the technology becomes. Therefore, it is easy to get to a point where everything is strongly clear.
The author of the book “Code” looked so far into the past that he reached the 19th century and, using the example of the first telegraph machines, explained the device of the computer. Theoretically, the whole technique of the first 17 chapters of the “code” is easily collected from the simplest electrical components, which are already in use for more than a century.
Thanks to all this vintage technique, when reading the code you will experience some nostalgia. And let the “code” very thoroughly explains the device of the computer (there are not many other books where it is described, for example, how exactly the processor works), the style of the book is quite entertaining. Despite the depth of the topic, the author will suit the reader with a comfortable walk around the world programming.
For whom this book
For everyone who wants to learn how to program or is already studying. For everyone who is interested in the inner life of computers and the principles of their work.
