This review is considerably unsystematic, impressions only. I bought this item intending it to be a companion text to "Floyd, Digital Fundamentals", after having worked quite a way through the later book. The Floyd book has a better vocabulary drill and instruction, therefore "Digital Fundamentals" wins in covering the ground-work more confidently and in imparting abilities to student. "Principles of Computer Architecture" has better hindsight; more of the person you have become rather than the person you are about to be. Principles of Computer Architecture [that's "principles" and not "principals"] is written from a different perspective; one of a computer scientist rather than an electronics technologist. As such it includes chapters on assembler programming and instruction architectures, and a broader coverage of computer organisation. It takes Floyds own Computer Notes much further in elaborating on the various Computer Technologies covered in a lively and illustrative manner. The book is quite mindful and descriptions of the technologies have been thoroughly considered. It does not claim to be a specialist book, so if you are looking for a book on gate level design verification or something on writing High-Level code do not aim to be here. None of the ideas contained in the text were disagreeable, however I did find one or two of the paragraphs looking a bit dyslexic, especially, and surprisingly, the chapter on assembler programming. I might have expected this from an amateur rather than a professional writer. The illustrations are very animated and help make up for my (occasional) perceived weakness of the writing. As usual the Publisher has supplied a CD full of software that displays compatibility problems with a serviceable operating system. They then have a disclaimer at the back of the book saying that the software is not supported. I helped myself by finding an internet site that can provide me the latest compatible version of the software. So I do question the need for publishers to include CD-ROMs with their products when their is no mutual interest in maintaining them. ## Frequently Bought Together - Principles of Computer Hardware - Digital Design and Computer Architecture --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/49678543-principles-of-computer-hardware](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/49678543-principles-of-computer-hardware) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
