This is an excellent way of learning what computer and programming exactly is. You can buy this book if you belong to any of the below category
1. Computer student
2. Intersted to learn more about computer internals
3. Programmer who knows only High Level Languages
4. Software Engineer who want to refresh what he has studied in BTech/BSC/MCA everything is there in a nutsheell from Logic gates, Computer Architecture, Micro processor design to Operating systems

highly recommended

Yes, reinventing the wheel. After reading this book you can very well re-invent the wheel or at least understand how the wheel was designed. I am so glad to have found this book. Very well written! Despite knowing about basics of Computer like Number system and gates, I found this book to be lucid enough to enlighten me to these basic concepts with a new approach.

Computer lovers, do not, I mean, do not ignore this book! Hallelujah!

It is one really interesting book, if one really wants to dwell into how things do work. Though I had just read, the first three chapters, since I received the book from Flipkart, about three days back..

In the starting, author, had tried to explain, some background of various codes such as Morse Code and Braille Code. How these work and what is the need to come up with these codes!!!! If one is really fond of knowing some basic concepts, this book really keeps a person, to his/her seat. Ver...

worth to read.

If you have ever felt curious about how computers work?, how they came into being?, what's inside them? then this is the best book you are ever going to read. It tells you about various developments in mathematics and electronics that lead to how we see computers today and the hidden faces behind this technological revolution.

Don't buy it, the quality of paper and book is very very bad. Buy it from somewhere else; however, other than the condition, content is good.

Perfect

Awesome book. Delivered well before time.

strengthens the basics. if you truly learn how a computer works, programming a computer becomes lot more easier. high-level language constructs will make more sense to you. strong basics lead to easier understanding of the complex topics.
