I’ve started reading “Code” by Charles Petzold
While I was at barnes and nobel the other day and browsing the Computers section I found that they had a copy of “Code” by Charles Petzold. I have heard from several people that it’s a very good and interesting book. I decided to buy it and have started reading it. I’m only 2 chapters in but I’m already very impressed by it and can’t wait to finish it!
Looks like my cat Evi is interested too!
Amazon.com Product Description
What do flashlights, the British invasion, black cats, and seesaws have to do with computers? In CODE, they show us the ingenious ways we manipulate language and invent new ways to communicate with each other. And through CODE, we see how this ingenuity-and our very human compulsion to communicate-have driven the technological innovations of the past two centuries. Now in paperback edition, this critically praised book weaves an inventive and eminently comprehensible narrative for anyone who’s ever wondered about the secret inner life of computers and other smart machines. The work of legendary computer book author Charles Petzold has influenced an entire generation of programmers. And with CODE, Microsoft Press is proud to share this gifted teacher and communicator with every reader interested in understanding today’s world of PCs, digital media, and the Internet.
