Bought my book and started reading...

Yesterday, I began reading the first of three books for this course, How Computers Work (9th Edition), written by Ron White and illustrated by Tim Downs. I'm about 40 pages in so far and I really enjoying the straightforward approach to the workings of the computer with simple but engaging illustrations. The book actually reminds me of one of my favorites growing up, The Way Things Work by David Macaulay, which uses fun illustrations to teach readers about the principles of physics at work in a variety of everyday objects.

Thus far, How Computers Work, is a thorough and humorous review of computer components. I'm looking forward to delving deeper into these topics over the coming weeks.
