The Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC) - a deep dive.

Recommended Posts

I found this superb article over at Ars Technica and figured it would probably be of interest to some folks here as well, assuming you haven’t already found it!

Programmers will probably get the most out of it but, as with most things Apollo, even this layperson could marvel (and enjoy) the pure working-next-to-the-raw-metal technical prowess on display.

Oh - and do read the comments too - they’re well worth it for the extra insight from the author. But if you don’t get all the way through them, you should check out this (safe for work) site too.
