Reviews:

Tanenbaum is good...Gotta give him that.
They are up to now only 1/3 through the book, but it has been good. There are even some snippits of dry humor that renders it a more interesting little. Until the width and to the depth of material it goes, it begins towards the outside presupporli knows least approximately hardware/architecture and the returns you for degrees from here. To presuppose the book remains like wooty interesting and downright, I it will give 5 stars to it. It is not a lot often that I find a book of the calculating that is disposed to read the cover in order to cover.


Classical CS authors
Tanenbaum is one of the CS classical authors. Any CS student or instructor should own a copy of this updated edition of Structured Computer Organization.

The book structure remains the same, but there are many important updates, mainly in the examples and case studies. Tanenbaum's style is also the same: a bit arid and telegraphic, specially for newcomers, but his approach is much better for an introductory computer organization and architecture course than the books by Patterson/Hennessy (which are mandatory reading for any CS student/instructor as well).

I have basically one criticism to this book: it is very pricey! Particularly for an instructor whose wages are not paid in dollars...
