Mr. Heller realized that it is hard to really know what a student is feeling without asking. For a person seeking general knowledge, the first few chapters clear up such mysteries as counting systems. The binary and hexadecimal systems are fundamental to computers, yet are often not fully understood and poorly explained. All this and you are only into the second chapter. It is equivalent to over a year in a University.
Every chapter starts with keywords and definitions.
Looking at these gives you a little idea of the depth of this book. Many of the concepts in the book are contained in a movie form on the disc. There is also a compiler to turn your new code into executable programs. Furthermore, there are examples and samples. Computer enthusiast, hopeful programmer, or continuing your education this book and disc combination is a real winner.
