The course is at the above website, in case you want to start working through it before this edition is released in July.

#4The first edition is probably the book with the highest mind-expanding content to page ratio I have ever read.

#5Buy this book if you're a programmer who wants to know how computers work.
I read the first edition in high school, and if I had to choose either this book or my entire undergrad CS education, I'd pick this book.

#6This is one of the best books you can read as a software engineer. Lessons can be done over weekends and they teach you so, so much. I recommend this to everyone when discussing CS books. Absolutely incredible work - and concise too.

Seriously. After reading this book I realized that I didn't understand shit about computers before. Wondering what the second edition adds.

#8I have the first edition. It was such a great read. I practiced the concepts by building a 4-bit ALU in Minecraft back in the day (~2013).
I thoroughly recommend this book.
