- agumonkey 11y agoCould (should?) be a class for teenagers of all kind. Sure the gradual creation of morse code could make them thrilled.
- coldpie 11y agoI completely agree, this book is fantastic. I read it in high school and I've been meaning to re-read it ever since.
- cbhl 11y agoI find it shocking that out of eight million comments, the top book is only mentioned ~50 times, but the parent comment illustrates why -- many people mention title/author pairs without linking to the book itself.

- sien 11y agoIt's the best book to recommend for people who want a rapid introduction to computers that really provides some understanding. It really is outstanding.
