书籍简介
计算机无处不在，很明显的是我们的笔记本电脑和智能手机，但也包括我们的汽车、电视、微波炉、闹钟、机器人吸尘器和其他智能电器。你有没有想过，这些设备内部发生了什么，使我们的生活变得更容易，但偶尔也更令人生气？
20多年来，读者对查尔斯-佩佐德关于计算机内部秘密生活的富有启发性的故事感到高兴，现在他又为这个新的计算时代对其进行了修订。本书图文并茂、通俗易懂，是一本破解谜团的书。你会发现手电筒、黑猫、跷跷板和保罗-里维尔的骑行可以教你什么是计算，以及人类的聪明才智和我们对沟通的渴望如何塑造了我们使用的每一个电子设备。
这本新的扩展版更深入地探讨了每个智能设备的心脏的逐位和逐门构造，中央处理单元结合简单的基本操作来完成复杂的功绩。佩佐尔德的配套网站CodeHiddenLanguage.com使用了书中关键电路的动画图形，使计算机更加容易理解。
除了大幅修订和更新的内容外，新的章节包括：
第18章：让我们建造一个时钟!
第21章：算术逻辑单元
第22章：寄存器和总线
第23章： 第23章：CPU控制信号
第24章： 第24章 跳转、循环和调用
第28章： 世界大脑
从简单的钟表滴答声到互联网的全球嗡嗡声，《代码》揭示了数字革命的本质。
Computers are everywhere, most obviously in our laptops and smartphones, but also our cars, televisions, microwave ovens, alarm clocks, robot vacuum cleaners, and other smart appliances. Have you ever wondered what goes on inside these devices to make our lives easier but occasionally more infuriating?
For more than 20 years, readers have delighted in Charles Petzold's illuminating story of the secret inner life of computers, and now he has revised it for this new age of computing. Cleverly illustrated and easy to understand, this is the book that cracks the mystery. You'll discover what flashlights, black cats, seesaws, and the ride of Paul Revere can teach you about computing, and how human ingenuity and our compulsion to communicate have shaped every electronic device we use.
This new expanded edition explores more deeply the bit-by-bit and gate-by-gate construction of the heart of every smart device, the central processing unit that combines the simplest of basic operations to perform the most complex of feats. Petzold’s companion website, CodeHiddenLanguage.com, uses animated graphics of key circuits in the book to make computers even easier to comprehend.
In addition to substantially revised and updated content, new chapters include:
Chapter 18: Let’s Build a Clock!
Chapter 21: The Arithmetic Logic Unit
Chapter 22: Registers and Busses
Chapter 23: CPU Control Signals
Chapter 24: Jumps, Loops, and Calls
Chapter 28: The World Brain
From the simple ticking of clocks to the worldwide hum of the internet, Code reveals the essence of the digital revolution.
作者简介
Charles Petzold也是《图灵注释》的作者： A Guided Tour through Alan Turing's Historic Paper on Computability and the Turing Machine (Wiley, 2008)。他还写了一堆其他的书，但它们大多是关于微软Windows的编程应用，而且现在都已经过时了。他与妻子、历史学家和小说家迪尔德丽-辛诺特（Deirdre Sinnott）以及两只名叫哈尼和海蒂的猫住在纽约市。
Charles Petzold is also the author of The Annotated Turing: A Guided Tour through Alan Turing’s Historic Paper on Computability and the Turing Machine (Wiley, 2008). He wrote a bunch of other books too, but they’re mostly about programming applications for Microsoft Windows, and they’re all obsolete now. He lives in New York City with his wife, historian and novelist Deirdre Sinnott, and two cats named Honey and Heidi.
