A course in computer programming provides the typical student's first exposure to the field of computer science. Most students in such a course will have used computers all their lives, for email, games, web browsing, word processing, social networking, and a host of other tasks, but it is not until they write their first programs that...
We believe that learning in computer science and engineering should reflect the
current state of the field, as well as introduce the principles that are shaping computing.
We also feel that readers in every specialty of computing need to appreciate
the organizational paradigms that determine the capabilities, performance,
and,...
