DESCRIPTION:
The body of the text presents general principles; however, this presentation has been organized so that laboratory exercises, providing the necessary hands-on experience, can be easily integrated with the material in the book.. The chief goal of this text is to familiarize students with the concepts that provide the basis for modern digital computers. It seeks a balance between an over emphasis on the details of a specific machine and the need to provide students with hands-on experience
Provides a nice overview but not much depth This book provides a overview of how the computer operates internally, but lacks in real world or specific examples. Many of the questions/examples are overly generic because the author tries to cover many platforms instead of just one or two major platforms.. Hi Guys! I have the 1992 edition. This book is not for the Joe Blow 'computer professional'. It is intensely academic. This book is NOT in 'lay' termsalso, it often glazes over EXTREMELY complex topics. The level of diction for this book is fairly high. Not recommended for your dime store MCSE.
