Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software Charles Petzold pdf download -
What do flashlights, the British invasion, black cats, and seesaws have to do with computers? In CODE, they show us the ingenious ways we manipulate language and invent new means of communicating with each other. And through CODE, we see how this ingenuity and our very human compulsion to communicate have driven the technological innovations of the past two centuries.
Using everyday objects and familiar language systems such as Braille and Morse code, author Charles Petzold weaves an illuminating narrative for anyone who’s ever wondered about the secret inner life of computers and other smart machines.
It’s a cleverly illustrated and eminently comprehensible story—and along the way, you’ll discover you’ve gained a real context for understanding today’s world of PCs, digital media, and the Internet. No matter what your level of technical savvy, CODE will charm you—and perhaps even awaken the technophile within.

Mission accomplie et de façon remarquable : l'écriture est agréable et l'auteur arrive à simplifier tous les concepts à l'aide de nombreux exemples et de graphiques plus nombreux encore.Les premiers chapitres introduisent la notion d'échange d'information par code : le langage humain, les signes de la main, le morse, le braille sont des codes. L'auteur en profite pour introduire le calcul binaire : le braille et le morse étant composés de deux symboles, le nombre de "caractères" possibles dans chacun de ces codes s'expriment par une puissance de deux.Ensuite, les bases de l'électricité (atomes, électrons, courant, voltage, etc.) sont introduites dans le chapitre décrivant l'anatomie d'une lampe de poche.Le chapitre suivant décrit l'une des premières inventions où l'électricité est combinée à un dispositif mécanique pour communiquer : le télégraphe.Viennent ensuite deux chapitres décrivant les bases 10 et 2, puis un chapitre décrivant les opérations logiques (et, ou, non, ...) et faisant un rapprochement entre celles-ci et les interrupteurs. Suivent les portes logiques, le bit, l'octet, l'hexadécimal, le processeur, le langage machine, etc.Mon appréciation : l'un des très bons livres que j'ai lus cette année. J'ai vu la plupart des notions exposées ici dans des cours il y a une vingtaine d'années mais on nous les présentait de façon trop rapide et incomplète - je n'ai rien retenu. J'aurais vraiment apprécié pouvoir lire ce livre à cette époque !À noter : l'anglais utilisé est facile à comprendre.
