Anyone have reading (book, online) suggestions geared at accessible intro level? More intermediate level?
Brian, I have recently read (most of) 'Code : The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software' by Charles Petzold. He takes the reader from the simple on/off flashlight circuit, through the mechanical relays found in telegraph systems, to fundamental computing devices -- and that is only just where I've read through (chapter 17 of 25) - It is available via the central mass library system - so free! I sincerely hope if you check it out, that you like it. Best wishes, Alexander
