Описание

The classic guide to how computers work, updated with new chapters and
interactive graphics \n \n"For me, Code was a revelation. It was the first
book about programming that spoke to me. It started with a story, and it built
up, layer by layer, analogy by analogy, until I understood not just the Code,
but the System. Code is a book that is as much about Systems Thinking and
abstractions as it is about code and programming. Code teaches us how many
unseen layers there are between the computer systems that we as users look at
every day and the magical silicon rocks that we infused with lightning and
taught to think." \n \n- Scott Hanselman, Partner Program Director, Microsoft,
and host of Hanselminutes \n \nComputers are everywhere, most obviously in our
laptops and smartphones, but also our cars, televisions, microwave ovens,
alarm clocks, robot vacuum cleaners, and other smart appliances. Have you ever
wondered what goes on inside these devices to make our lives easier but
occasionally more infuriating? \n \nFor more than 20 years, readers have
delighted in Charles Petzold's illuminating story of the secret inner life of
computers, and now he has revised it for this new age of computing. Cleverly
illustrated and easy to understand, this is the book that cracks the mystery.
You'll discover what flashlights, black cats, seesaws, and the ride of Paul
Revere can teach you about computing, and how human ingenuity and our
compulsion to communicate have shaped every electronic device we use. \n
\nThis new expanded edition explores more deeply the bit-by-bit and gate-by-
gate construction of the heart of every smart device, the central processing
unit that combines the simplest of basic operations to perform the most
complex of feats. Petzold’s companion website, *********************** uses
animated graphics of key circuits in the book to make computers even easier to
comprehend. \n \nIn addition to substantially revised and updated content, new
chapters include: \n

- Chapter 18: Let’s Build a Clock!
\n

- Chapter 21: The Arithmetic Logic Unit
\n

- Chapter 22: Registers and Busses
\n

- Chapter 23: CPU Control Signals
\n

- Chapter 24: Jumps, Loops, and Calls
\n

- Chapter 28: The World Brain
\n

\nFrom the simple ticking of clocks to the worldwide hum of the internet, Code
reveals the essence of the digital revolution.
