Greetings! This is coming from a.. as the title says, a 16 year old who wrote a mini-book on how computers operate internally focusing on RAM and CPU aspects, respectively. Because almost all of us (if not all) use computers and similar devices on a daily basis without an ACTUAL idea on how they work, even though you might have a brief view of your system. You get my point.
Just the fact that I've been using something and not knowing the way it really works, made me go insane. And that's exactly why i stepped up and taught myself all of it, from start to finish, While Apparently my coding knowledge didn't undermine me from writing this in a way of "Im teaching you what i learned" rather than "learning and writing" that took nearly 6 months to finish completely!
If you're the background person.. fine, some acknowledgments you might want: Something that made me crazier? web-dev, no disrespect to you folks out there but i had to add some extra time to the writing (which is exhausting in itself) just to code a (yet) simple HTML/CSS/JS website for the book. But since then, i fell in love with web-design and styling after using Figma to draw all the illustrations seen throughout the segments. Also I had the idea to initiate this project when i was 15! So i think it's pretty safe to say that this article went through a draft-phase of randomly collecting technical information.
And i'm finally happy to share it with the globe! to put it in simple DEV community
fashion, any feedback and/or suggestion(s) is greatly appreciated hoping this becomes a learning material. Check it out and i guarantee you will learn a thing or two: https://github.com/hackclub/RAM-a-thon
this was close to a repost from yesterday's highest ranking topic on Hacker News
