This review is from: Without Me You're Nothing: The Essential Guide to Home Computers (Hardcover)

If you're a beginner in programming, and find that all the introductory books out there are more confusing than enlightning, here's a gentle and supremely intelligent work that will help you get started with programming. This book explains and criticizes all the jargon and the logic behind computers. Although Herbert discusses here 1980s technology, the logic behing the machines is always the same, and most current programming (java, c++,...) always uses more or less the same principles.
