 |
Description
Book Introduction
Computer architecture and operating system content that can be stiff and boring
A truly easy-to-understand textbook with illustrations and diagrams!
"Computer Architecture and Operating Systems Explained in Pictures" is a textbook that explains the operating principles of computer architecture and operating systems in an easy-to-understand way, even for beginners, using 120 intuitive diagrams and pictures.
The recent surge in demand for software developers has created more opportunities for non-technical developers to pursue their careers. However, the reality is that many people find it difficult or limiting to develop into skilled developers due to a lack of computer science knowledge.
This book is made up of 120 easy-to-understand diagrams and illustrated explanations so that even non-majors can easily learn the core concepts of computer engineering, such as computer architecture and operating systems, on their own.
The computer architecture section of this book explains the computer's parts and roles, internal structure, operating principles, and how commands are processed in a process, all in an easy-to-understand manner, using easy-to-understand pictures and diagrams.
In the operating system section, we looked at how the operating system works between hardware and applications in the order of roles, structure, and booting, and explained how processes are managed in an easy-to-understand manner using easy-to-understand pictures and diagrams.
Reading this book first will make it easier to understand computer science or software development books! Therefore, this book is a must-read for both aspiring and current developers, from non-majors to developers.

Publisher's Review
Two key concepts in computer engineering (science) for better software development are 'computer architecture' and 'operating system'.
The book "Computer Architecture and Operating Systems: Principles Explained in Pictures" is an introductory book that explains 'computer architecture' and 'operating systems' through picture explanations so that everyone from non-specialists to developers can easily understand them.
The features of this book are as follows:
- The principles of 'computer architecture' and 'operating system', which are essential knowledge for growing into a skilled developer, were explained in a way that even non-majors could easily understand.
- The operating principles, which can be difficult and boring, are explained one by one with easy-to-understand pictures so that even non-majors or beginners can learn on their own.
- We have compiled only the essential core knowledge from the vast amount of information on computer architecture and operating systems.
Benefits you can get from this book
- You will realize the need to understand computer architecture and operating systems.
- You can fully understand the operating principles of each computer component and the operating principles of the operating system.
- You can build up basic knowledge that will allow you to deeply understand the operating principles of the code you wrote.
- You can perfectly prepare for basic computer knowledge in job interviews.
- Improves the ability to troubleshoot source code errors during software development.
I highly recommend this book to these people:
- Non-majors and current developers who want to learn the basics of computer architecture and operating system operation principles step by step.
- Job seekers and college students who are preparing for employment as developers but lack basic skills
- Instructors looking for a textbook that easily explains the principles of computer architecture and operating systems.
