The SAP architecture serves as an example in Digital Computer Electronics for building and analyzing complex logical systems with digital electronics. Digital Computer Electronics successively develops three versions of this computer, designated as SAP-1, SAP-2, and SAP-3. Each of the last two build upon the immediate previous version by adding ...
EDSAC, on which the book was based, was the first computer in the world to provide a practical computing service for researchers. [2] Demand for the book was so limited initially that it took six years to sell out the first edition. [7] As computers became more common in the 1950s, the book became the standard textbook on programming for a time ...

Digital electronics is a field of electronics involving the study of digital signals and the engineering of devices that use or produce them. This is in contrast to analog electronics which work primarily with analog signals. Despite the name, digital electronics designs include important analog design considerations.
Theory and Techniques for Design of Electronic Digital Computers (popularly called the "Moore School Lectures") was a course in the construction of electronic digital computers held at the University of Pennsylvania's Moore School of Electrical Engineering between July 8, 1946, and August 30, 1946, and was the first time any computer topics had ever been taught to an assemblage of people.
The Hack computer is intended for hands-on virtual construction in a hardware simulator application as a part of a basic, but comprehensive, course in computer organization and architecture. [2] One such course, created by the authors and delivered in two parts, is freely available as a massive open online course (MOOC) called Build a Modern ...
It was the first stored-program computer in the U.S. [28] In 1951, the Ferranti Mark 1, a cleaned-up version of the Manchester Mark 1, became the first commercially available electronic digital computer. The Bull Gamma 3 (1952) and IBM 650 (1953) were the first mass produced commercial computers, respectively selling about 1200 and 2000 units.
Zuse's coworker Helmut Schreyer built an electronic digital experimental model of a computer using 100 vacuum tubes [29] in 1942, but it was lost at the end of the war. An analog computer was built by the rocket scientist Helmut Hölzer in 1942 at the Peenemünde Army Research Center to simulate [30] [31] [32] V-2 rocket trajectories. [33] [34]
