What is the best book on the story of Apple Computer? This week's guest states that Return to the Little Kingdom is the best of all of the Apple books on the history of this iconic growth story dating back to the pre-startup days thru the most successful sales years of the Apple II computer.Our guest is David Kopec, the moderator of the podcast Business Books & Co. David is a history buff on the early days of Apple and on their journey to becoming a unicorn. Expect to hear some stories you've never heard before.
I'm periodically scouring the podcast universe for other shows focusing on business books. I recently found Business Books & Co. founded by three buddies who went to school together. Within three weeks, I listened to their first three seasons of episodes.As a fan of the show, I'm thrilled to hear the origin story of this podcast with their moderator David Kopec. In this show, we learn how a book club turned into a podcast, how books are selected, their favorite episodes, the books they didn't like, and an update on season four.
David Kopec is active in the open source community as the author of several popular Swift data structure projects. He is the author of the Classic Computer Science Problems book series, which includes Classic Computer Science Problems in Swift (Manning, 2018), Classic Computer Science Problems in Python (Manning, 2019) and Classic Computer Science Problems in Java (Manning, 2020). ————————————————————————————— Connect with me here: ✉️ My weekly email newsletter: jousef.substack.com
