Goodnight Server Room

About this book

Goodnight Server Room is a childrens book about computers and data written for kids ages one to five. Goodnight Server Room is a lighthearted exploration of computer terms written to be pleasant to read the hundredth time as it is the first time. Goodnight Server Room is written in verse in the tradition of the great childrens books that came before it notably Goodnight Moon and Goodnight Construction Site. Following in their style Goodnight Server Room meanders through a whirring world of computers pausing on each page to introduce a new word or concept. Data are a running theme in Goodnight Server Room. After all computers are really just engines for data. Goodnight Server Room presents data in a non-technical light illustrating two key concepts: - Data (bits/bytes/packets/etc) are composable. Packets are made of bytes bytes are made of bits. - Data are the most important things in computers. They carry the messages store the pictures and tell the computer what to do.
