Riassunto:

If you are like most software developers, you probably have a hardware-phobia. You would like to understand how the hardware that makes up your computer works, but the few times you have tried to make sense of it, you have found the hardware world overwhelming and confusing. Terms like HDL, impedance and capacitance don’t help. What does any of that have to do with computing? But take heart! It doesn’t have to be that confusing! Experiencing Computer Architecture is the cure to hardware-phobia. It was written by a software developer for software developers. In this book Steve Halladay takes you through a friendly step-by-step progression that helps software developers understand how to build the hardware for a simple computer. As you work through this book you will understand every layer of hardware abstraction, starting with a simple explanation of transistors, Boolean logic, binary operations and ending with a fully functional processor of your own design. Hardware doesn’t have to be scary - if you can understand Boolean Logic, you can design your own computer!

Informazioni sull'autore: Steve Halladay has 30 years of software development experience in large and small companies including hands-on development, management and teaching. Steve’s area of focus is software engineering including software design and software development processes. He has authored books, articles and several patents. Steve has a MS in Computer Science and is currently the Computer Science Chair at Neumont University.
