Computer fundamentals, the book I wish I had. The creative glue for intermediate-level programming concepts.

Improve your programming versatility by learning the nuances of numbers & their representations.

Not a math wizard? No problem!

---

Computers are monsters because they think different than us.

We will learn:

- What the monsters look like.

- How you can prevent the 125 million dollar mistake that caused the NASA Climate Orbitor to crash, and how Tony Hoare made a billion dollar mistake.

- How do emojis, text, and everything else in your computer work by interpreting numbers differently?

- Where and how are numbers stored and accessed?

- How can we stop thinking about numbers by using abstraction?

This is an evergreen classic programming book, focused on foundational principles rather than expiring knowledge trends. We feel 10 bucks is a fair price per digital volume and we don't do sales. It's a great deal, anytime! Feel free to buy the book now, or later, or whenever. The book will still be relevant, though you might encounter the monsters sooner...
