An Invitation to Computer Science, 5th Edition

An Invitation to Computer Science, 5th Edition, 9780324788594 (0324788592), Course Technology PTR, 2009

This text is intended for a one-semester introductory course in computer science. It presents a breadth-first overview of the discipline that assumes no prior background in computer science, programming, or mathematics. It is appropriate for use in a service course for students not majoring in computer science. It is also appropriate for schools that implement their introductory sequence for majors using the breadth-first model described in the ACM/IEEE Computing Curricula 2001 Report. It would be quite suitable for a high school computer science course as well. Previous editions of this text have been used in all these types of courses.

This revision of Schneider and Gersting's bestselling text now offers a more flexible approach to the CS0 course. The text still features a solid introduction to programming concepts, but the language-specific material has been moved online and expanded. In addition to modules for C++ and Java, optional modules for C#, Python, and Ada are now available. The text also includes new chapters on Security and Entertainment, expanded coverage of wireless networks, and updated feature boxes.
