This book starts with the most basic electrical knowledge and leads readers step by step to build a computer that can work fully automatically from scratch. In the process, readers can learn a lot of interesting knowledge about electricity, mathematics, and logic, and understand how they created conditions for the emergence of electronic computers and promoted their continuous development in the direction of faster, smaller, and stronger computers. By reading this book, readers can easily understand how automatic calculations actually occur and how modern computers work.
Based on this, at the end of the book, the composition and main functions of modern computers are introduced, as well as the interface between the computer core and external devices, and the software with the operating system as the core is introduced.
Reader comments
This book is very interesting. It starts from basic electrical knowledge and allows us to understand how computers developed step by step to what they are today. Moreover, the content in the book is easy to understand and can be easily understood by a layman like me. I especially like a sentence in the book: "The computer is like a magic box, with endless possibilities hidden inside." This sentence is so vivid! All in all, I think this is a good book worth reading.
This book takes time as the context and tells the development process from electricity to computers. The author goes from the shallower to the deeper, explaining how to construct complex processors and memories from simple components step by step. I especially like this book's introduction to the principles of D flip-flops and rising edge flip-flops. It is easy to understand and solves a long-standing doubt.
Easy to understand and humorous
The language is humorous and the computer knowledge is explained in an easy-to-understand manner.
