The Secret Life of Programs. How to Write Code That Appeals to Your Computer

Are you familiar with the technologies underlying your own program? Why does the "right" code refuse to work? The truth is simple and banal — you need to create code that works well from the start and does not hide elusive errors. For this, Jonathan Steinhart explores the fundamental concepts that underlie how computers work. He examines the hardware, the behavior of programs on specific devices, to show how your code should actually work. Find out what really happens when you run code on a computer, — and you will learn to program better and more efficiently.
