Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software: This book is a fantastic introduction to how computers work, from the basic principles to the complex architecture.
The Soul of a New Machine: This Pulitzer Prize-winning book tells the captivating story of a team of engineers developing a new computer model.
lThis fourth edition of Robert Sedgewick and Kevin Wayne’s Algorithms is the leading textbook on algorithms today and is widely used in colleges and universities worldwide. This book surveys the most important computer algorithms currently in use and provides a full treatment of data structures and algorithms for sorting, searching, graph processing, and string processing--including fifty algorithms every programmer should know. In this edition, new Java implementations are written in an accessible modular programming style, where all of the code is exposed to the reader and ready to use.
Head First Java: Perfect for those who are completely foreign to programming and want to stay away from boring theories.

Which computer should I buy?
Which computer should I buy?
Processor: Intel Core i5 or AMD Ryzen 5 processor or higher. This will give you enough power to run most engineering software and games.
Memory: 16GB RAM or more. This will allow you to multitask without lag or slowdowns. Recommended 32GB RAM
Storage: 512GB SSD or more. This is necessary to store your software, games and files, but at least 1TB is recommended for adequate space.
Operating System: Linux, Windows 11 or macOS. Both operating systems are suitable for computer engineering students and gamers.
Display: 14-inch or larger display with Full HD (1920x1080) or higher resolution. This will give you a good viewing experience for both work and play.
Graphics Card: Integrated graphics or discrete graphics card with 6GB or more VRAM. It will provide the minimum parallel processing power required for 3D and engineering applications and will allow you to play most games at medium settings. Recommended minimum RTX 4050 depending on budget.
NOTE 1: For students who want to work in the field of game developer or artificial intelligence applications, computers with a minimum of 8GB graphics memory are recommended on the graphics card side. Example Nvidia RTX 4060, 4070, 5060, 5070 and above series.
NOTE 2: If students who are thinking of developing mobile applications want to be an iOS developer other than Android, that is, if they want to make applications for iPhone or iPad, they must have an Apple computer. Recommended minimum device Macbook Air 13.3 M3 8GB 512GB
