Computer Science From Scratch: Building Interpreters, Art, Emulators and ML in Python (No Starch Press)
Monday, 20 October 2025

In this book, David Kopec explores the deeper principles behind code, such as how programming languages are implemented, what does an interpreter really do, and how does the microprocessor execute instructions at a fundamental level. The book is aimed at experienced Python programmers who want to fill in those gaps; not through abstract lectures, but through carefully designed projects that bring core CS concepts to life.
