Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software

by Charles Petzold

✓ Read

From the dots and dashes of Morse code to the 0s and 1s of computer programming, "Code" describes the ingenious ways humans have adapted language systems--code--to invent the machinery of the modern age. Petzold uses everyday household objects and readily recognizable codes such as Braille and Morse to build a context for understanding how computers work.
