“Amazing . . . I highly recommend it if you don't have a very 'computer science' background, like me.” —Tony Messias, tonysm.com “This book was truly a good companion to the start of my CS degree. It gave me background in the computer engineering sphere and a solid foundation in many CS topics, and I am already starting to experience many of the lessons this book gives.” —Ben Miller, Goodreads Reviewer “This book is amazing. I bought it to refresh my programming basics for courses I teach programming on industrial PLC computers, from beginner to expert. It delves into so much more. Humorous and informative. I highly recommend.” —Gil Cabrera, Amazon Reviewer “If you are just learning to code, or if you are a developer who wants a deeper understanding of how your code interacts with the machine, highly recommend!” —Carmen H. Andoh, @carmatrocity “If you are looking for a wonderfully complete tour through how a computer actually works from first principles all the way through running a piece of software, The Secret Life of Programs from @nostarch is the way to go.” —Nick Maxwell, @CodiferousCoder
