Exceptional computer science book that has fantastic explanations and humor. Pair this with Petzold's CODE and you have a great intro to computers.
Entertaining and covers the basics of how computers work in detail.
Neste livro encontra-se, de forma ilustrada, simplificada e bem-humorada, elementos de tecnologia computacional. A proposta da Itautec, patrocinadora da obra, foi a de colocar à disposição do público brasileiro, um livro que suavizasse a aridez do assunto Computação, com desenhos que complementam as ideias.
