You do need to approach the books with a basic knowledge of c and c++ in my opinion (including how a compiler works), as well as music, acoustics, psycho-acoustics and hexadecimal and bit math principles. However, I was looking for raw materials that started with the bare minimum building blocks and not a full fledged framework and this book delivers. Again, suggested for musicians and/or producers who have already gone though a good c++ tutorial.

I think overall it is an interesting book. It's precursor value for fantasy mythopoeia is well known. I didn't know however it had such quirky humor. I think that if you add that to it's rather short length, it is quite enjoyable, since once you start feeling it gets more dense, it ends.

A great historical novel, set during the last days of the rule of the House of Normandy of William the Conqueror and the rise of the Plantagenet Angevins. Yet, these events play out on the background to the main story which unfolds in an English priory, with a cast of characters from diverse socio-economic backgrounds. The theme of architecture and construction, the whole project of the cathedral, is the way in which the book chooses to deal with a wider subject: the profound love human beings have for craft, beauty and knowledge, and the spiritual idea that such things will outlive us.

One of my favorite books, really. Love the thematization of semiotics, theological debates, abductional reasoning, communication and, well, Borges. A must read for anyone in love with history, theology, communication sciences and, of course, books.
