Hey all,
This is a wee bit off topic, so apologies in advance.
I’m a long time lego fan but a relative computer novice. So I thought I’d turn
to my fellow hobbyist in regards to their specialty. I’m really seeking a ‘book
of everything’ something that really explains a computer’s inner workings with a
view to me someday understanding enough to learn a programming language. I would
just like to find out ‘where a language fits into the overall structure’ before
I jump into a C equivalent... I have a very rudimentary knowledge of electronics
(from some basic engineering courses) but really want to understand the
hierarchy between that and what I see when I boot up an operating system. If
their are any holy grail reference manuals or just good books/sites could you
please recommend them to me!
Thanks much and God Bless,
Nathan
