Have you ever wondered what really goes on when your computer takes a higher-level language, like Javascript or C, and turns it into something it can read?

I started on a heath kit build your own and learned soldering nand/and/nor/xor gates to large circuit boards to make Christmas tree lights blink on and off. I learned to read Hex dumps on an IBM MVS/VM mainframe, gotta love B37 space dumps and JES/JCL subsystem barfs before desktop PC's and so-called optimized high level codes existed. You learn what a computer can do, then the language is just a matter of familiarizing yourself with the format of a particular language/script of the week.
