that PDF is awesome and i have never seen it before. i had to teach someone about programming from absolute zero and i followed a very similar approach. starting with what a transistor is, a basic intro into a cpu, what machine code is, low level languages and high level languages which took us into a python hello world. you could see the wheels turning at the end of the session...
- skohan 5y agoThat sounds amazing. It makes me want to learn more about transistors, and how CPUs actually work at an EE level. My studies started with registers and machine code as the "ground truth" - but it would be cool to have an intuition about what is actually physically happening inside the CPU and memory.
