Customer Reviews

Reads like good fiction.

I checked this book out of the library today and am already halfway through the book. The material is presented in such a lucid manner that reading sections over again is not necessary. It is also thoroughly engaging in its step-by-step approach to solving a problem via hardware and software.This is a nice companion to a weightier book like Patterson & Hennessy's; especially since it is based on Motorola's 6800 series chip. I will no doubt be adding a copy to my personal library soon.

THE book to begin your computer voyage

WHAT EVERY ENGINEER SHOULD KNOW ABOUT MICRO-COMPUTERS is the book that solved a very serious dilemma for me, namely, where to begin a technical education of computers. In very simple but technical language this book teaches the basics of how the computer uses its innards to accomplish the tasks assigned to it by the user, be he a mathematical person, a verbal person, a gaming person, a commercial person, .... Well, you get the picture. Reading W E E S K About Micro-Computers has peaked my interest so much in the series of books WHAT EVERY ENGINEER SHOULD KNOW ABOUT ..., that I immediately upon finishing it looked up the publisher to find to my delight that there are many more in the series, in which I intend to invest as my interests lead me. I HIGHLY recommend this book, only the third in the list, as a starting point for anyone with only the slightest rationality in him and wanting to know more to get himself started on his own personal voyage into the information world that is upon us to stay. Kudos toe the autors, editors, publishers, and anyone involved in the series, but especially to the authors William S. Bennett and Carl F. Evert, Jr. for their most excellent book for the beginning student, parent, child, teacher, and whoever may need to know just a little more than where the on-off button is. Ronald Darden
