From the Author
The impetus for my invention came from a discussion about binary code with my young programmer son in the summer of 2018.
As a graphic designer and font creator, I was familiar with the ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) character encoding, but this time, the structure of the binary code caught my attention.
While studying the binary values of the characters and symbols, I began experimenting with representing them as geometric shapes.
After trying many variations, I liked the combinations of circles and triangles, which resulted in impressive compositions. And most importantly, these compositions reflected the letters of the alphabet, numbers, and symbols.
Perhaps this visual code has the potential to be successfully used in data communication in the future. In the meantime, I prepared this entertaining book for observant children and adults to spark their interest in exploring the magic of data encoding.
So follow me in my invention. Have fun with exercises in converting the binary values of the characters into circles and triangles, tracing and coloring geometric shapes, and once you finish this book, you will have mastered yet another method of exchanging information.
I highly recommend that you use a black pencil to outline the shapes and then, if you like, fill in the white spaces inside them with colored pencils.
