• How Computers Work, from code.org, Khan Academy, and BillG hisself

    I’m going to try hard not to gush.

    This is simply amazing. Everybody needs to understand how computers work. One of my favorite authors of all time, Ron White, wrote the original How Computers Work: The Evolution of Technology, 10th Edition (How It Works) book (illustrated by Tim Downs), and I refer people to it all the time — not just kids, but anybody who needs a firm understanding of these crazy little things that drive me nuts.

    There’s a new series out on YouTube that’s just blowing me away. How Computers Work by code.org, Khan Academy, and a whole bunch of notable people, takes you through the basics in about half an hour.

    Watch it. Spread the word.

    And another extraordinary series, sponsored by code.org and anchored by Vint Cerf.
