Source code my beginnings Cover Image Large Print Book

Source code [large print] : my beginnings / Bill Gates.

Gates, Bill, 1955- (author.).

Summary:

"Source Code is not about Microsoft or the Gates Foundation or the future of technology. It's the human, personal story of how Bill Gates became who he is today: his childhood, his early passions and pursuits. It's the story of his principled grandmother and ambitious parents, his first deep friendships and the sudden death of his bestfriend; of his struggles to fit in and his discovery of a world of coding and computers in the dawn of a new era; of embarking in his early teens on a path that took him from midnight escapades at a nearby computer center to his college dorm room, where he sparked a revolution that would change the world"-- Provided by publisher.
