Computer Science Distilled: Learn the Art of Solving Computational Problems by Raimondo Pictet, Wladston Ferreira Filho
2.0
Meandering and unfocused, basically unusable as either a primer (requires way too much prerequisite knowledge) or as a reference. Some relatively complicated topics are completely glossed over, and some completely unimportant topics (e.g. disassembly or emulation) are covered.
Would not recommend for professionals, as the topics are either basic or not covered in detail. Definitely would not recommend for beginners, as a lot of jargon is used, and lots of the explanations only make sense if you already knew the topic (e.g. address/data bus)
Fun to read, though, with a nice flow, so it might be a not-too-bad read for someone with a casual interest in programming or computers.
