I was failing badly in my computer architecture courses. Received a 5% score in one of the mid-terms. Switched from the recommended book to Andrew's book and did nothing apart from read it everyday for 2 hours. Received 100% in the final. Such an amazingly approachable book. :-)
- blast 2y agoWow. Which book?
- kenniskrag 2y agoOne of these: https://media.pearsoncmg.com/bc/abp/cs-resources/products/series.html#series,series=Tanenbaum https://media.pearsoncmg.com/bc/abp/cs-resources/products/se...
- jdougan 2y agoOut of curiosity, which was the recommended book?
- asp_hornet 2y agoNot OP but if it was computer architecture i imagine it would be “structured computer organisation”. One if my favourite books on computers and looking at the comments, many people here too. Source: this book got me top marks too
- trueismywork 2y agoSome horrible local author whose name I now forget. Andrew's book was Structred Computer Organization
- grugagag 2y agoI had Tannenbaum books in in two of my CS courses too 2 decades back. They were great textbooks, found them quite accessible too
