For more than 20 years, readers have delighted in Charles Petzold’s illuminating story of the secret inner life of computers, and now he has revised it for this new age of computing. In Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software, 2nd Edition, you will discover what flashlights, black cats, seesaws, and the ride of Paul Revere can teach you about computing—and how human ingenuity and our compulsion to communicate have shaped every electronic device we use.  Along with new chapters, Charles created a companion website with interactive graphics to make computers even easier to comprehend.
