I know you specifically asked for coding related material, but I just can't pass the opportunity to suggest this awesome and humoristic (yet honestly one of the most informative "for dummies") book that explains how computers and code work:
J Clark Scott's "But How Do It Know".
It's still relevant and gives you a solid understanding of fundamentals in a funny and easy-to-read way to understand computers (and software) on a level that doesn't drain you.
It's a relatively short book, so it wont overwhelm you if you are just looking to dip your toes into the topic - yet it gives you all you need if you want to dig deeper.
Thank you for the book suggestion, I had a brief look online and it does seem interesting, I'm going to acquire a copy.... if he can describe the inner workings of computers in a humorous way, and if I can maybe learn just one new thing, then I'm in! ๐
Thanks again
No problem, glad I could offer something and hope you enjoy the book as much as I did!
