What this book is
A complete school in book form. An ordered path in two volumes and seventy-eight chapters, from the foundations of computing to the practice of a profession: understand, learn, practise, build.
How every chapter is built
The same order, from the first to the last: where you stand, the objective, what you will learn, the lesson, the exercises, their answers, what to remember, common mistakes, a verifiable exit criterion, and what comes next. So you always know whether you are ready for the next chapter.
What sets this book apart
- Every statement carries a label. VERIFIED FACT means a dated primary source was opened and cited; OFFICIAL STATISTIC, ESTIMATE, PROJECTION, TEACHING EXAMPLE and HYPOTHESIS say exactly what the rest is worth.
- What could not be verified is written as such: the book contains twenty-eight explicit refusals to give a figure, each with its reason, rather than invented orders of magnitude.
- Sources are dated and gathered in an appendix of fifteen sections, chapter by chapter, with the date they were consulted.
- The book says when it will age: a whole chapter lists the pages you should re-check yourself.
- No income, no salary and no service price is promised.
