Description
Get hands-on experience with the inner workings of computers, from low-level circuits to high-level code. This comprehensive guide covers everything from circuits to memory, clock signals, machine code, programming languages, operating systems, and the internet.
With 41 optional hands-on projects, you'll put your knowledge into practice, building digital circuits, crafting a guessing game, and more. Learn to use a multimeter, build a half adder, and write a program in assembly language, then examine the resulting machine code. Detailed diagrams and illustrations help clarify technical complexities.
