Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software is a book by Charles Petzold, published in 1999.
It was also popular in the early days of Windows, since it was used in three influential Windows programming books, Programmer's Guide to Windows by Durant, Carlson & Yao, Programming Windows by Petzold, and Windows 3.0 Power Programming Techniques by Norton & Yao.
This book, along with Charles Petzold's popular Programming Windows book are considered to be 'bibles' in Windows programming.
The publisher has gone on to release books by other recognizable authors such as Charles Petzold, Steve McConnell, Mark Russinovich and Jeffrey Richter.
