THIS is How I Learnt To Program a PC (without using the Internet!)

One book to rule them all, one book to find them, one book to bring them all and in the darkness bind them. Yes, for programmers struggling to find solid information on PC architecture and programming in the early 1980s, there was one book that you absolutely had to have. In this video, I try to explain why Peter Norton’s “Inside The IBM PC” was like a book of magic spells. We didn’t have instant access to information on the Internet. Back in 1983, when the book was published, this was our essential guide.

MORE VIDEOS
=============
I have hundreds of videos and even complete programming courses on my YouTube channel. They cover everything from low-level programming in C to coding an adventure game in C# or Java. I cover languages as varied as Ruby, Object Pascal and Smalltalk. No matter what your programming level or area of expertise, I’m sure you’ll find something to interest you.

PROGRAMMING BOOKS
====================
If you want to learn programming in more depth (and also support this channel!) you might think of buying one of my books. I have written books on C programming, Using Pointers in C, Delphi, Ruby, Recursion and other programming topics. You can buy my books (paperback or Kindle) on Amazon.
