A Biographical Classic in Computing
This Book is an inspirational one for millions. The initial Coding Days of Microsoft started with an 8-bit Microprocessor Intel 8080 from Intel Corporation. This information is probably not known by many of us today, when we are thrilled to accept Cloud Computing with AI advantages. The journey of Microsoft in the Computing domain throughout the world is phenomenal since the mid 1970s till date and it will continue to illuminate the future path of computing. I really enjoy reading this Classic Book and recommend every Student of Technology in particular to have a glimpse of it.

Gates's recollections of his early years and the bizarre cast of micro computing pioneers make for a fascinating read. He is refreshingly honest about his own weaknesses and does not use this memoir to settle any scores or tear down his rivals.

The book is readable, inspiring, thought-provoking, and presumably heartwarming. If you are a programmer of around 50 and have children, this book will hit you on the sweet spot because you can enjoy the advent of BASIC and personal computers. Bill and his friends' hard work is impressive. Reflective reading is recommended.
