(2011) Previous discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2298471 Nice explanation even for people who have a good grasp of the basics. The visualization, seeing the flows is particularly interesting. |

Slightly OT but if you want to get a basic understanding of double-entry accounting in a few minutes I found this article really great: https://martin.kleppmann.com/2011/03/07/accounting-for-compu... (discussed here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2298471) |
Also highly recommended: Accounting for Computer Scientists
