Summary Computers communicate differently than people. Coders write algorithms in different computer languages that give computers clear instructions on how to work. This book explores the first computer communications and how coding works. Readers will learn about binary, the 0s and 1s that make up the base of all computer programming, as well as how coders find problems and fix mistakes. Perfect for the young coding enthusiast and the beginner, this book uses simple infographics and language to present complex ideas in a captivating manner.
