Fantastic book, I consider it as the missing link between CS theory and development/engineering. Thank you!

- AtlasBarfed 5y agoThis knowledge was either the third or fourth class in the CS sequence, Computer Organization. Are there CS programs that do NOT do this? Those would be useless CS departments. The book I took was Tanenbaum's Structured Computer Organization. It was fantastic, as was Operating Systems. This class was indeed the "light comes on" as you go from gates to logic to CPU to signals to microcode to assembly and so on and so forth. What Tanenbaums and this lack is a bit of history. We can learn a lot by the examples of the older computers, and what each generational "innovations" brought us.
