Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
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 the reader learn. Exercises mostly involve mental problem solving, while hands-on activities require the reader to actually try various aspects of computing: building a circuit, writing software, and so forth.
Includes index.
"A book that introduces readers to the fundamentals of hardware and software. It covers foundational aspects of computing, from binary and circuit design to the internet and modern computing, and includes a mix of exercises and hands-on activities"-- Provided by publisher
