I have a problem /sci/
Every time I try to study programming I find myself picking at the bone and trying to understand it intuitively. \
By that I mean, I could easily become a developer or engineer but I find myself trying to understand how assembly language works or how the whole computing era started. Like all the way back to the abacus.
Pretty much, its like trying to be a biologist but I find myself trying to understand how subatomic particles work. It's not practical for life and having a job/degree. If I was an academic and had a money sure I would shut myself away and do some Newton eccentric thing, but I want to be productive.
I just need a book that LITERALLY goes from ground up.
Have any of you guys gone through this?
