This review was written after I was selected as a developer reviewer for Gilbut Publishers’ 24th review program and received a copy of the book. Reading it from beginning to end, I felt it went into greater depth than many existing books on computer architecture. Readers with a background in the subject may find that depth interesting, while people encountering computer architecture for the first time may find it a little challenging. By nature, computer architecture and operating systems

I recommend this as an introduction to computer science for developers without a related degree. Its clear, concise explanations, illustrations, tables, summaries, and questions make the material easy to understand.

Computer architecture and operating systems can be difficult to study because their concepts are abstract. This book uses illustrations to explain the key ideas clearly, making it useful for interview and exam preparation. Each chapter includes a concise summary and review questions that help readers check their understanding, so the book is organized with interviews and exams in mind. Its main audience is people new to IT: beginners hoping to enter the field, students who need to learn the

I would recommend this book to beginners studying software development and to anyone who wants to refresh their knowledge of computer architecture and operating systems. The material is concisely organized around the key concepts, making it efficient to study. The key-points summaries and review questions at the end of each chapter make it easy to review as you go and help the material stick. The many illustrations are another major strength. If computer architecture or operating systems are

I think this book may feel unfamiliar to people without a computer science background who are starting careers as web developers. That is exactly why it is so useful for anyone taking the plunge into IT. If you studied computer science, it is great for refreshing what you learned in college. Instead of giving a deep, detailed account of every concept like a textbook, it is organized to help you grasp the basics and move on. The author holds a professional engineer certification, and the

This IT book condenses and organizes important material on computer architecture and operating systems in a note format, using diagrams to explain it. It is divided into two parts. Computer architecture covers basic concepts such as instructions, the CPU, memory, cache, RAID, input/output devices, and parallel processing. Operating systems covers key concepts and functions such as processes, process-synchronization algorithms, CPU scheduling, deadlocks, memory allocation, virtual memory, and

As its title, Computer Architecture and Operating Systems: Essential Notes, suggests, this book is for people entering IT, including developers. Its illustrations make the key ideas easy to grasp, so I recommend it to people who need an intensive review for an IT job, want to build their knowledge of computer architecture and operating systems quickly, or are curious about how computers work. As the title promises, it focuses on essentials for interviews, exams, and certifications. Anyone who

Review: Computer Architecture and Operating Systems: Essential Notes, Seo Ji-young, Gilbut. We are living in the age of computers.

There may be local shops that sell or repair computers, but I find it hard to trust them after a bad experience—and that seems to happen more often than you might think. Computer Architecture and Operating Systems: Essential Notes is designed for interview and job
