Computer Science Unleashed: Harness the Power of Computational Systems Reviews

  • Srinivasan Nanduri

    Takes into the world of computer science and its growth over time and the advances in the field that have influenced this growth.

    Follow this up with the Computer Science distilled book from the same author(s)

  • Wladston Filho

    I wrote this book, so I may be biased…

  • Fabiano Cancela jr.

    Computer science unleashed is a beautiful, rich and fun experience for anyone who's into technology and wants to understand the modern world a little better.

    The authors expertly present very complicated topics in a friendly manner, by breaking down its parts and assembling them along with the reader. It is truly engaging to follow along examples and use-cases as you learn how the internet works, or how a hospital may collect and use data to better help it's patients, for example.

    Beautifully designed tables and schematics are a huge part of the book and they are incredibly useful and smart.

    The most amazing thing, however is how the authors managed to present topics in a easy to understand manner without dumbing the content down.

    I strongly recommend it to anyone with no tech background to dive in and take a look at how computer science shapes our lives. And I also recommend it to folks that already work with data and technology for gaining broader insight and choosing areas to study further.

    I'm a teacher of Computer Science and I'm always looking for books that explain complex ideas in an accessible way. This is the second book (the first is Computer Science Distilled
    https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...) and continues the excellent presentation of some difficult ideas in a friendly way with plenty of illustration. I've recommended this to many of my students and they have all commented on how their understanding has improved upon reading it. I highly recommend this if you are a student of computer science or if you are an old hat, like me, and just need to be reminded of things we once knew.

  • Djuro Alfirevic

    A true masterpiece really. Every recommendation.

    It doesn't matter if you're a junior or senior engineer or just someone who wants to have a good tech book in your hands - this one is definitely a nice one to pick
