  • Wow! Sounds like the kind of teaching I would have enjoyed when I started studying. The fascination that drove me to computer science is just taken away by the classic way of focussing for too long on one aspect (like algorithms, data structures, etc.). I don't want to study for years and then suddenly go "Aha! Now I see how the puzzle fits together!". I will look into this!

  • Your link to the publishers website is broken. You might want to fix that :-)

  • @dardamavet Actually, you can read something like this in the beginning of the book: "First we start with abstractions, then we find components that make this computer mounting plausible" The software that "comes" with the book is just an easier way to get that. Otherwise you would have to buy lots of IC's/Transistors/etc. The real idea behind a computer is on this abstractions, after that you really can mount it on everything, transistors, quantum particles and biochips.

  • @Blo0dMeN Afraid of Skynet?

  • @JeffTheRambler Why?

  • @Arminius1871 Guess not, according to the site: (Second Printing: 2009, Chinese Edition: 2006, Polish edition: 2007, Indian edition: 2009 )

  • @ToshiroDK the link is www1. and then the adress :)

  • If you want to get into the low-level physics/EE boundary stuff, e.g. how transistors work, what materials they are built of, etc., Fonstad's 'Microelectronic Devices and Circuits' is freely downloadable from MIT's Open-Courseware website. The caveat is that the math requires some elemental undertanding of calculus up to diff-e.q.'s - the book is heavily theoretically oriented. The 4 or so chapters on amplifiers aren't required to understand the later material on digital logic building blocks.

  • haha he has some key board as me

  • I started this book and was fine up until clocks... then I was just lost.
