Child Prodigy Turns Programmer. Review on Making of Microsoft, The - Daniel Ichbiah

Child Prodigy Turns Programmer

How did Bill Gates made his Empire

So I am back. well trying to improve my reviews. if any suggestions please let me know. indirectly it will help me and you people understand my review.

Ok just to start with, I found this book while checking through the books in a reading library near my house. I always wondered how the ''MICROSOFT'' thing happened :). Actually tried a lot to search on the internet, but was not satisfied with he content. Ofcourse with such a long history, computer is not a medium on which we can read this.

But thanks to the Government (the library I mentioned is Municipality owned), due to which I got this blessed(exaggerated) chance to read the book.

Let me tell you this is a very old publications and I am not able to find this book anywhere. This book is translated from french language by the authors. France and Japan were a very big market for Microsoft in its early years.

Now about the book. It is very very well written book. Neatly organised into 16 chapters. It takes of from the birth of the genius, to how he wrote his first software, and finally ends at the launch of Excel for Windows. This book covers only upto 1980s. And yes, thats what is needed, after 1980s as the cliche goes ''is History'' and everybody knows it.

There is only one outcome after reading this book, you will become a fan of Bill Gates. If you already are, then you will worship him(again exaggerated).

It covers all the early event from the personal front to the corporate front. It also covers Microsoft working culture. How the Name was derived. Reading this book, anyone can make a short documentary, by just following the script.

So if you are a normal human being, even non techy, you will like this book from each and every perspective. Rather you will like this normal(exaggerated) human being named WILLIAM HENRY(bill) GATES III.
