HOW COMPUTERS REALLY WORK - MATTHEW JUSTICE KAR...

From Amps to Apps: How Computers Work is an approachable  hands-on guide to understanding how
computers work  from low-level circuits to modern software. From Amps to Apps: How Computers
Work takes an informal approach to topics often reserved for textbooks. Each chapter covers one
foundational aspect of computing. Exercises and hands-on activities throughout are designed to
help you learn. Exercises mostly involve mental problem solving  while hands-on activities
require you to actually try various aspects of computing: building a circuit  writing software
and so forth. You will learn about electrical circuits  learn how to read a circuit diagram 
and build a working circuit. You'll learn how computer hardware like processors  memory  and
input output work and fit together  how low-level machine code runs on a processor  and how to
examine the machine code of software running on a computer. You'll gain an understanding of the
differences between programming languages like C and Python  examine operating systems  use
tools to explore your local network and the Internet  and build a simple web page. The book's
primary goal is to give you a broad understanding of how computers work and to offer a
big-picture view of computing and the foundational information needed to dig deeper into topics
that interest you.
