The classic guide to how computers work, updated with new chapters and interactive graphics.
Since 1996, readers have enjoyed Charles Petzold's illuminating story about the secret inner life of computers, which is now revised for this new computer age. Thus, you'll discover what lenses, black cats, poles, and Paul Revere's ride can teach you about computing.
This newly augmented edition delves deeper into the bit-by-bit and gate-by-gate construction of the central processing unit (CPU), combining the simplest basic functions to achieve the most complex feats.
Additionally, Petzold's companion website, CodeHiddenLanguage.com, uses animated graphics of the book's basic circuits to make computers even more easily understandable. It includes new chapters such as: Chapter 18: Let's Build a Clock!, Chapter 21: The Arithmetic Logic Unit, Chapter 22: Registers and Buses, Chapter 23: CPU Control Signals, Chapter 24: Jumps, Loops, and Calls, Chapter 28: The World Brain.
From the simple ticking of clocks to the global sound of the internet, Code reveals the essence of the digital revolution.
