Reviewed Books

Source Code, by Bill Gates

✔ Recommended - Recommend especially to those interested in the founding of Microsoft, Bill Gates' childhood, or his tales about participating in the computing revolution.

Steve Jobs, by Walter Issacson

✔ Recommended - Steve Jobs was a ... polarizing character. This book details his entire life, and in my opinion, required reading for anyone interested in the history of Apple and computer industry.
