About this Podcast:
Ever wondered what\'s actually happening beneath your code? Welcome to NCOT Technology, where we strip away the abstractions to explore the \"how\" and \"why\" of computing. From building 3D engines without a GPU to wiring up binary adders and mastering IEEE 754 floating point, this channel is for the curious programmers who want to fall down the technical \"rabbit holes.\" What we cover: * Low-Level Engineering: Logic gates, CPU architecture, and hardware arithmetic. * Graphics from Scratch: 3D projection and rasterization without the libraries. * Computing Standards: Deep dives into the standards that make the digital world work. * Hands-on Code: Technical walkthroughs in C++, Python, and Assembly. If you aren\'t satisfied with a library doing the work for you and want to understand the circuitry driving it all, hit Subscribe. Let\'s see how deep the rabbit hole goes.
