77 Charles Petzold on Charles Petzold!

Charles Petzold talks with Carl and Rory about his books including Programming Windows; Code; and his .NET books, his love of computer and math history, his exploits with early electronic music, and tells some stories from the old days (at the prodding of old friend, Richard Hale Shaw, who was listening to the live stream at the time). This is a great discussion with a great man. Charles has a way of making complex concepts easy to understand.

Charles Petzold is best known for writing books about Windows programming for the past 20 years. The first one was "Programming Windows" and the most recent is "3D Programming for Windows." He also occasionally writes more unusual books. In 1999 Microsoft Press published Petzold's book "Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software" -- a unique exploration of digital technologies beginning with Morse code and the telegraph. Just out is a sequel-of-sorts to "Code" published by Wiley and entitled "The Annotated Turing: A Guided Tour through Alan Turing's Historic Paper on Computability and the Turing Machine."
