Very good. A good book to go with it is: Learning Computer Architecture with the Raspberry Pi.

This looks amazing(and affordable). I had not heard of this. Thanks for sharing!

No problem. It is surprisingly advanced too and was co-authored by Eben Upton who started the Raspberry Pi. Nice whirlwind tour of computing architecture and history.

Thanks for this one. A must read for me.

This is an amazing book. Hard to describe, and maybe not even all that interesting sounding if you managed to describe it accurately, it’s actually fascinating.

If you don’t know much about hardware (and maybe even if you do) it’ll change the way you think about computing devices.

You hear people say "Computers are all just 0's and 1's", which when you sit down at a modern computer interface is virtually meaningless. In an accurate, but still comprehensible way, 'Code' takes you from the AND's and XOR's and 0's and 1's to the experience you know from a modern computer interface. It is a brilliant book.

Also check out The Pattern on the Stone, a similar book by the inventor of the Connection Machine.

Seconded. I'm one of those savages who didn't really find much value in classical tomes like MMM or Code Complete (probably because all their core points have already been distilled into contemporary best practices) - but I love this book, and even recommend it to non-technical friends & family.

I loved this book, a must read for any dev

I'll also +1 this, it is a great read. Has to be top 5 interesting books I have read over the years.

Agree - this is an amazing book.

I am currently reading it and would definitely suggest it.
