A story dating from at least in 1950s, tales of a man traveling home after a stint in a distant prison. Charles Petzold: Yes, I have excellent chapter 11, bit by bit by bit.
And I believe that you have selected something. As we do in our tradition, here is for the author to read a passage from his book. And we were so lucky to have him with us here today to talk about the second edition of his book Code. In 2018, Charles retired from a 34-year career in writing, thinking, and speaking about programming. Without that book, I definitely would’ve failed that class. Helped me greatly by teaching me all of the things about Windows programming that my professor completely glossed over during university. Charles Petzold is the author of over a dozen books, one of which Programming Windows Fifth Edition. Anyway, let me give you a quick bio of our author today. But the, you know, Coles Notes version of it is just be nice to everyone, treat people like you want to be treated, and I think we’ll all get along fine. You can check that out by going to /architect/architect and then look for the code of conduct. Just want to let everybody know before we get started that this entire thing is covered under the architect code of conduct. Today we’re gonna be talking about Code, The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software by Charles Petzold, who is our guest today. Welcome to the November edition of the Begin Book Club.
I don’t even have a copy of the book yet but I think that one may be waiting for me at my New York City apartment.Simon MacDonald: Hey everyone. Barnes & Noble (which I’ve been shopping at for over 50 years starting when they were just one store on 5th Avenue and 17th Street) but they’re saying “temporarily out of stock online”.Amazon UK was supposed to be publishing early but now they’re saying November 24th!.Amazon, which you’ve probably heard of, but today they’re saying “3 to 5 weeks”.is generally my favorite online source, but they don’t even have the cover image yet and they say that the book is “temporarily out of stock”.Inform IT is an alternative to ordering directly from the publisher.Microsoft Press Store has the pithiest URL and you’re ordering direct from the publisher.Here are a few links, but actually getting the book might take longer than you’d like: That means that the publication date is today and the book might be available from your favorite book vendor. In a startling disruption of the space-time continuum - and a violation of the basic maxim of publishing that nothing is ever on time - the publication date of the 2nd edition of my book Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software was bumped up by 12 days.
