Have you ever wondered what goes on inside these devices to make our lives easier but occasionally more infuriating? For 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. This 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. Along with new chapters, Petzold created a new website, CodeHiddenLanguage.com, that uses animated interactive graphics to make computers even easier to comprehend. From the simple ticking of clocks to the worldwide hum of the internet, Code reveals the essence of the digital revolution. -- Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Computer programming. 650 0 $a Coding theory. 650 0 $a Electronic digital computers. 650 7 $a Coding theory. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00866237 650 7 $a Computer programming. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00872390 650 7 $a Electronic digital computers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00907122 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9780137909292 941 $a 2 952 $l OZAX845 $d 20240525042019.0 952 $l P1AX906 $d 20230815011425.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E910AA4CF93011ED9B9A064150ECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IOOInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
