Hugely detailed but endlessly rewarding, it’s no surprise that in 2020, the number of students applying to study Computer Science at university increased by a significant 7.6%. Covering the theory and application of information and computation, Computer Science takes a scientific approach to understanding how data is acquired, represented, processed, stored, and communicated amongst different technologies and software. There are literally millions.The world of Computer Science is deeply complex and yet ultra-fascinating. The only consolation is that I’m not the only person in the world forced into using JavaScript.
My free will meant nothing, and I was forced into JavaScript. If that were the case, the language I would have discussed in this chapter would have been BASIC.īut I didn’t have that freedom. I wished dearly that the Mac and Windows came with built-in BASIC environments. I'm super excited about the second edition, and I've had it ordered for months now, but I think I'm having to wait on a second printing or something. There's just so much good information in that that really builds on itself. I've read it multiple times, and when I first started reading it, I'd make it only part way through before I had to stop and start over from the beginning. " Code" is one of my favorite programming books ever (even though it doesn't really go into programming much). The 2nd edition of Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software falls into that second category. Perhaps the author had become dissatisfied with certain aspects of the 1st edition and wanted to fix them. But other times a 2nd edition involves some major upheavals. Sometimes a 2nd edition has mostly small changes: correcting a few mistakes, adding some more up-to-date information. Reading a 2nd edition after the 1st is not trivial: It’s a commitment of both additional money and additional time.
Do I need to get the 2nd?” It’s a legitimate question and I’ve asked it myself. Whenever a 2nd edition of a book is published, people ask “I already have the 1st edition.
